It really sounds like you are experiencing #425397 [1]. We are probably
going to backport the fix and it should be included in the next point
release of Etch (r2).
In the meantime, could you please help us by trying a recent daily
build [2] of the development version of the debian-installer (this will
install Lenny (aka testing)). You should not experience similar
blockage with it.
If you still want to install Etch now, you can try to type something
like this at the installer boot prompt:
install maxcpus=1
If the installation goes smoothly, you will probably need to remove the
kernel parmeter from your bootloader (grub or lilo) after the
installation.
Finally, it would be really helpful if you were willing to test the
future Etch point release to see if we manage to really fix this issue.
