Both of these images contain the pcnet32 and 8139too modules. The modules are only available to the installer once it has done a firt pass at detecting hardware, mounted the CD, and loaded the rest of the installer components from the CD. Then it should do a second phase of hardware detection, and load your NIC modules. So the log message you included is not really helpful, it just shows the installer printing an informational messages about the modules not yet being available during the first stage of hardware detection. Whatever your real problem is, it's somewhere else, probably further down in the log, or in the kernel's dmesg output. Please describe exactly what point you are in the install when you see the problem, what error message is displated to you, and send us the full set of logs from the install. -- see shy jo
