This might be a bug in the i386 iso - as you've seen, we can't test all i386 easily. This might just be a regression. Given that we're about to release 10.8 on Feb 6th, can I suggest that you send a mail into debian-boot (or debian cd) referencing the bug number and including the syslog entries above.
These are the machines with Geode but limited to 256M memory? As a matter of interest, what are you using them for - what's the use case - because 256M is marginal now, I think.
