I couldn't get it to recognize the harddisk. I tried several
module combinations (basically, everything that I thought might make
sense). In most cases, only the CD-ROM was accessible; in some, not
even that.

If you have any specific combination you'd like me to test, drop me a
mail. I still have a debian-installer rc3 CD around; I can download the
final release as soon as it becomes available, too.
