This is not really a debian-cd issue. Please file an installation report [1] 
instead and make sure to include the hardware-summary and the syslog for 
the installation.
Note that we are very likely to ask you to reproduce the issue using the 
official (non-hacked) KDE CD while doing a normal (non-preseeded) 
installation. If the issue cannot be reproduced that way, the problem is 
clearly in your modifications.

Your best first step would therefore probably be to just carefully compare 
yourself the syslog for a manual installation using the official KDE CD 
with the syslog from your hacked and preseeded CD. That should give you 
some indication of what has gone wrong.

Cheers,
FJP
