The "no module loaded" card is the DEC one, right�? Could you please try again the initial steps of D-I (up to partitioning, so this is safe), switch to VT-2 and then look in /var/log/syslog for any sign of module loading/failure for this card. According to entries in discover1-data, the de4x5 module should indeed be loaded for that hardware. Maybe trying with one of the daily builds could be worth it too.
