This is very important for us! Please include the full URL you used next
time. Did you use an image for amd64 or for i386?

That is fine.
OK. AFAICT these are the three relevant devices:
> 00:06.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [10de:0560] (rev a1)
Should be supported by the amd74xx module
> 00:09.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [10de:0550] (rev a2)
Should be supported by the ahci module
> 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [10de:054c] (rev a2)
Should be supported by the forcedeth module
All three modules are available during the installation, so they should
be loaded automatically.

What module exactly did you modprobe?

Could you send us the /var/log/syslog and the output of 'lsmod' for an
installation attempt?
You should be able to save that information to a file and then copy it to
a USB stick or something.
Even better would be if you could run the menu option "Save debug logs" in
the main menu of the installer after the "disk detection" step of the
installation and send us all the files that are in /var/log/ after that
(gzipped!).
If you get the network working and if you have another system from which
you can connect to your laptop, you can also retrieve these files using
the "web" option in Save debug logs.
Cheers,
FJP
