Try a daily builds installer. They should be pretty good given they are
close to another beta for etch's installer.
A new machine, especially from Dell, is likely to have trouble with
Sarge, given it has drivers that are over a year old.
If you can install with 2.4, you can always upgrade the kernel using
2.6.15 from www.backports.org to see if that enables acpi for you. If
the install doesn't work with 2.4, then try the daily builds version.
