that cannot happen without installation media.

Those are:
- fat-modules-${kernel:Version}
- ext4-modules-${kernel:Version}
- pata-modules-${kernel:Version}
For reference, here is the module list on on i386:

You won't until I have fixed the issues above. I'm currently on a train, but I'm trying to get this
