Debian installation

After the very useful discussion on sarge vs sid, I downloaded the sid
installer and tried to set it up on a Dell desktop with a 3Com 3C905C-Tx
card.
When it tries to detect the network, I get the message "Error while running
modprobe -v aic7xxx
I tried to continue. When it reached the network configuration, DHCP
configuration failed. I did a manual setup, rechecked the parameters and
tried to continue. I then got the message
"An error occurred and the network configuration has been aborted. You may
retry it from the installation main menu."
I tried to continue. When it reached the point of detecting hardware, I again
got the message "Error while running modprobe -v aic7xxx"
I'm stuborn, but it was obvious at this point that Debian wasn't going to
install. There isn't anything esoteric on this system - and the network card
is well supported under Linux. I am going to submit an installation report,
but does anyone know what might correct this?:
