That's the "kernelmodules" definition.

  Also add these driver to the variable

Did that before, but  it says "not during installation" which is true.
Perhaps you should add a note there pointing to hwdetect?
# If you need a module during installation, add it to $kernelmodules
# in 06hwdetect.source 

Thanks again,
 Steffen
