the scsi-modules udeb, so both of these are available to the installer.
Can you check the installer logs to see what happens when the kernel tries
to load these drivers?
I wish you luck with this build, but that won't be a fix that can be applied

to the Debian package; we need to have this working with the stock Debian
kernel image, built with ALPHA_GENERIC set.
It's possible that the kernel's Documentation/eisa.txt provides some
guidance here:
** Kernel parameters :
[...]
virtual_root.force_probe :
Force the probing code to probe EISA slots even when it cannot find an
EISA compliant mainboard (nothing appears on slot 0). Defaultd to 0
(don't force), and set to 1 (force probing) when either
CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN or CONFIG_EISA_VLB_PRIMING are set.
Perhaps you could try passing virtual_root.force_probe=1 as a kernel option
when booting the installer, to see if that fixes the problem for you?
