On your log there are also several read errors from the CD used to install the system.
This could be due to bad hardware, bad disk or even a driver issue.
The read errors can lead to unexpected result.
I would be great if you burn an image on a cd-recorder /disc known to work properly and verify if the burned cd is properly written/read before installing.
You can also use a daily image with a newer kernel, those are available on:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/
Also Debian 6.0 got an update:
