Hmmm, in which case you'll probably need to download one of the latest d-i installer snapshots - see http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian- installer/builds. I expect (but don't know) that the latest daily builds for sid are using 2.6.12. It'll run the installer on this kernel, but will actually install etch, which I think is 2.6.11, if this is also too old for your drive you might have to bodge in your homebuild until an official 2.6.12 becomes available.
