Your hardware is definitely too new for current Etch (2.6.18 kernel).

I would have expected the second image (debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso) to
support your hardware as it should have had the 2.6.24, or at least a
2.6.22 kernel and I can find the following matches based on the lspci
info included in the hardware-summary you sent:
[10de:0ad0] ahci (bus driver)
[10de:0759] amd74xx (disk controller)
[10ec:8139] 8139too or 8139cp (NIC)
The syslog you sent shows a 2.6.18 kernel, so that failing is expected.
My suggestion is to try the recent D-I Lenny Beta 2 release (available
from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) as that is guaranteed
to have the 2.6.24 kernel.
Cheers,
FJP
