The 2.6 kernel recently changed to use 2.6.7. The kernel udebs for that kernel are only present in unstable. If you tell d-i to install testing, then it will also take udebs from testing, which means it will find no kernel modules to load. This is usual; if you want to test netboot installs of sid's d-i, you must tell it to install sid. Note that you can go back and change it to install sarge after it has downloaded the udebs. -- see shy jo
