The installer is trying to load the kernel module ("driver") for a sata 
controller from silicon image. It either can't read the module from the 
CD because of an I/O error (perhaps the Cd is bad, or the download was 
bad?). Perhaps you don't have this piece of hardware in your computer, 
and on trying to load it, it fails because there's no hardware for this 
device to activate, so that's okay.

What HDDs do you have plugged in to the computer? Are they SATA or PATA?
