This information is vital for us to at least give you a proper answer.

This suggests you used an official Debian sarge 3.1a DVD ? Is that right?

This is probably outside the scope of the Debian Installer team domain
and should be talked with the hotplug maintainers. However, Debian
sarge went out in a moment where major hardware manufacturers began a
transition including many brand new hardware which all require
tweaking stuff just like you did.

The Ubuntu installer is based on Debian installer but may use more
recent versions of it, and it uses a more recent version of the Linux kernel.
I would recommend you try the Debian Installer for Etch version beta1
and then install Debian "testing" brand (this will be the default). It
has proven often more appropriate for very recent hardware, especially
laptops.
You'll find it from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer
