I can confirm that PXE booting (I suspect from a CD as well) of Lucid SERVER (desktop work fine) does not have the firmware available, so the modprobe fails.

I can bypass this by:
* Wget'ing the firmware in an alternate firmware ( cd /lib/firmware ; wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jejb/aic94xx-seq.fw)
* Removing the module ( modprobe -r aic94xx )
* Switching back to the main screen and selecting the module to load again.
