Hi

i suggest you to try booting with

install video=ofonly DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt

the installer should boot in text mode: if the boot process goes fine up 
to the moment the classic textual installation screen appears, then 
switch to VT2 and do

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk
export MALLOC_CHECK_=1
debian-installer

a more detailed error message should be available if the graphical 
installer fails again.

Ciao
