It looks like you are trying to install Debian Woody (3.0) on your system.
This is a version of the installation system that is not longer supported
by the debian-installer team as we are very close to the release of Sarge
(3.1).
If you would like support for a Woody installation, I suggest you try the
debian-alpha maillist.
If you would like to give the new installation system a try, go to [1].
I am closing this report as installation reports are only meant to be used
for the new debian-installer.
