Thanks! I tried network installation (using HTTP though), but the harddisk can't be recognized during the partitioning step. It seems to me this NFS network described in this article would have the same problem.

am I wrong in thinking this way? (i don't have a second linux to do the NFS install so I'm suspicious about whether i should really give this a try.)

It seems installing AHCI is the only way to go to me....

Look at the link again. You don't install AHCI, it is an option in your bios to change the sata emulation mode. Again, you don't install AHCI.
