+A better idea when using a CD is to replace the mkmodules script (or at least the bit at the end) with a nice simple one:
+
+ # Copy the modules in.
+ os.mkdir("modules")
+ modroot = "modules/%s" % kernelversion
+ os.mkdir(modroot)
+ os.system("cp -r %s/%s/* %s" % (modpath, kernelversion, modroot))
+
+Then it copies the entire modules tree.
+
+To do this you will need to make a bigger initrd: in /usr/bin/make-autoinst-initrd, replace the lines
+
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=$TMPPATH/initrd bs=1024 count=4096
+ /sbin/mke2fs -Fq -N 2048 $TMPPATH/initrd
+
+with
+
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=$TMPPATH/initrd bs=1024 count=8192
+ /sbin/mke2fs -Fq -N 4096 $TMPPATH/initrd
+
+to make an 8mb ramdisk instead. Then, edit conf/isolinux/isolinux.cfg to append "ramdisk_size=8192" to your kernel parameters. Thanks to DanielLawson for the heads up on this one.
