Despite the fatal module error, the installer seems to mount the ISO
properly. The contents of the /cdrom directory in the installation
process is the same as the ISO file.

What does not match, is the directory structure: /var/log/syslog tells
us that the installer complains about missing
[main|restricted|universe|multiverse]/debian-
installer/binary-i386/Packages[.gz] files in
/cdrom/dists/karmic/Release. But /cdrom/dists/karmic/Release is not a
directory:

$ ls -l /cdrom/dists/karmic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2009-10-29 17:25 Release
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2009-10-29 17:25 Release.gpg
drwx------ 4 root root 2009-11-23 13:13 main
drwx------ 4 root root 2009-11-23 13:13 multiverse
drwx------ 4 root root 2009-11-23 13:13 restricted
drwx------ 4 root root 2009-11-23 13:13 universe

The problem seems to be a mismatch between the directory structure in
the ISO, with the files requested by the installer (eg. main/debian-
installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz):

/cdrom/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
/cdrom/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Release
/cdrom/dists/karmic/main/source/
/cdrom/dists/karmic/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz
/cdrom/dists/karmic/multiverse/binary-i386/Release
/cdrom/dists/karmic/multiverse/source/
/cdrom/dists/karmic/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz
/cdrom/dists/karmic/restricted/binary-i386/Release
/cdrom/dists/karmic/restricted/source/
/cdrom/dists/karmic/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz
/cdrom/dists/karmic/universe/binary-i386/Release
/cdrom/dists/karmic/universe/source/

Note, that there is no 'debian-installer' subdirectory in the ISO.
