The "no module loaded" card is the DEC one, right ?
Could you please try again the initial steps of D-I (up to
partitioning, so this is safe), switch to VT-2 and then look in
/var/log/syslog for any sign of module loading/failure for this card.
According to entries in discover1-data, the de4x5 module should indeed
be loaded for that hardware.
Maybe trying with one of the daily builds could be worth it too.
