libata uses <filename>/dev/sda</filename> for the first harddisk instead of
<filename>/dev/hda</filename>. Disks with more than 15 partitions are not
handled automatically right now.
To enable support for more than 15 partitions, please switch to a virtual
console before the partitioner starts and issue the command:
<screen>activate_dm_linear /dev/sdX</screen>
where <filename>/dev/sdX</filename> has to be replaced with the device
node of the disk in question.
This command will create device-mapper devices for the disk and each
partition, so the system can installed on the device-mapper devices.
Alternatively you can disable libata support by booting with the
following kernel parameters:</para>
