I have the same problem in my ASUS TX97-X mainboard BIOS (AWARD), but
only with the BETA-1 release of debian-installer.
The newer 2003-11-19 snapshot boots OK. Both are ISOLINUX 1.75.
BTW: when booting 2003-11-19 snapshot, type
linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium
at the LILO prompt, and choose a QWERTY keyboard when prompted,
becasue it defaults to DROVAK.
KNOPPIX 2003-11-19-BETA is SYSLINUX 2.04 and also boots OK.
