d-i uses the kernel and modules from a regular kernel package, only
divided between multiple packages to reduce memory and network usage.

So this seems to be a regression between 2.6.32-15 (used in the
installer) and 2.6.32-20 (current version in testing on 25th August, and
presumably what it installed).  Unfortunately I can't see any changes
between these versions which might be responsible.

Could you try testing the intermediate versions, which should still be
available from
<http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/linux-image-2.6.32-5-486/>?

Ben.
