This is the version of hd-media kernel no? Let's try!

To check the version of the cd is the same way than hd-media. You can load
only a CD (into a virtual machine or burn in a CD and load-it "phisically")
and in the first debina installer question, make : "alt+f2", and "uname -a".
This tells you the CD vlinuz version. The kernel version of hd-media may be
the same than netinst cdrom.

The kernel needs modules to load drivers and detect hardware . If he can't
load modules, he can't detect ethernet, filesystems, etc....
