You might double-check that the install kernel/initrd hasn't been updated out 
from under you.

I have had a newer version of the installer (even in stable) come out, making 
my already-downloaded kernel/initrd look for packages that weren't there (at 
the version it was looking for).

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/

It looks like the current version is from 20120128, so if you'd downloaded 
before that, you might just need to grab the new ones.
