SATA disk drivers missing from Debian 5.0.3 network installer



Hi,
 
I am a new Debian user and am trying to install 5.0.3 over the network.  My server has SATA drives and the installer isn't recognizing them.  In other words, "cat /proc/partitions" shows nothing.  I noticed that the network version of the "initrd.gz" file is missing the ata_piix.ko and libata.ko drivers.
 
These drivers are present in the Debian distribution, however.  I tried copying the distribution's ata_piix.ko and libata.ko drivers into the initrd.gz, but they won't load because "insmod" says "Invalid module format".
 
Does anyone know if there's a workaround for this problem?
 
Thank you.
 
Rigoberto
