This seems to be equivalent to a bug that has been reported and
resolved in Redhat:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121819
That page suggests that one person was able to install using 'acpi=on'
as a boot parameter. The page also talks about booting with an
SMP-enabled kernel (although I don't think the Debian install disk has
such on it). Take a look at the BOOT METHODS screen (F3). Maybe the
'exper' option or one of the other options will accommodate you.
I have a much better idea of what is going on, but am not any closer
to getting Debian installed. [...]
Perhaps you could disable the framebuffer during install:
linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false
Look at the SPECIAL BOOT PARAMETERS screen (F5) also.
