There's a few things you could try.

Instead of just pressing <enter> at the boot prompt, try entering:
- install noapic nolocalapic
- install acpi=off
- install24
- install24 noapic nolocalapic

Did you try the Etch Beta1 CD? In that case you could also give a daily 
built CD [1] a try. Again, try both the default install and the options 
above.

Let us know the results.

Cheers,
FJP
