The n/w card driver is set as module in the 2.6.32.5 /boot config that came from the daily-images ss4000e.

Setting the e1000 driver to built-in instead of module and rebuild. 1.5M still. N/w card is detected this time but DHCP ip acquisition fails, so that's a step forward I guess. I know DHCP is available from the n/w because 2.6.32 worked OK and other machines get it. Continued to configure n/w manually with an IP, GW, DNS etc. This fails to retrieve files from the Deb archive mirror, so the n/w is apparently not functioning really.

I wonder if this is the problem? the network driver is in module so you need to find a way to load it while installing with d-i. Given that the zImage size is 1.5MB, maybe you can try putting the ethernet driver built-in instead of module to workaround that ?
