Binary package hint: base-installer

I have been attempting to install Xubuntu 9.04 on an old Thinkpad 240 laptop. The laptop has no optical drives, so I tried installing via hd-media (from jaunty) with the xubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso.

Doing so I get a big red error flashed on the screen and the following lines in /var/log/syslog:
hw-detect: Detected Cardbus bridge, loading yenta_socket
hw-detect: FATAL: Module yenta_socket not found.
hw-detect: Error loading 'yenta_socket'

The hd-media files were downloaded from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/
The iso was downloaded from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/jaunty/release/
All of the md5sums matched.
