If Anaconda told you that he can't find the kernel module, that should say that you're not using the correct driver disk for the kernel you're using during setup ... Which version of CentOS are you trying to install ? CentOS 4.3 ? and for which processor ? i686 or x86_64 ? Verify that you have the right driver disk ... If you want to see which modules are included in modules.cgz, just explode it (gzip -d -c /media/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio -i -d) somewhere (in /tmp for example) and compare the kernel modules version.
