Looks like the Etch kernel does not correctly support your hardware. Suggest you either try the Lenny installer [2], or the /unofficial/ installer from Kenshi Muto for Etch [2] that has a more recent kernel. You may also be able to work around the issue by passing some kernel parameters (e.g. acpi=noirq), but using a more recent kernel is probably a better option. Cheers, FJP P.S. Next time, please file a full installation report [3].
