Not sure about AMD, but, I installed Debian Sarge
3.1r0a GNU/Linux on HP 5500 Intel 2.8 GHz with 80 GB
Sata HDD. 

I had to boot from the first installation CD with the
2.6.8 kernel by passing "linux26" at the boot prompt.
By default it boots the 2.4 kernel, which, I believe
does not include the SATA drivers. 

It booted fine and installation was smooth.

  boot: linux26
