I still don't have a clear picture. When you boot a d-i netboot image, it
is not supposed to detect all your hardware immediately. A normal course
of a netboot installation is: it boots a minimum system, then downloads
installer components (included required kernel modules), runs hardware
detection and inserts the needed modules into the kernel. Are you saying
that you are able to boot the machine, d-i starts, you configure the
network, download the installer components, run the hardware detection and
it fails there? Or does it fail at some earlier point?
