You are probably hitting the other bug a few people have hit that some
gigabit ports are slow to come up and the network detection code is much
too impatient to wait for the link to be ready. I remember a number of
people reporting this a few months ago.
Other than retrying the network detection step (which I guess preseed
can't do), I don't know a workaround.
