There might be a bug in that installer.  Can you try:

http://staff.osuosl.org/~kveton/debian/debian-dell-2.4.29.iso

Also, are you choosing to install via the network?  This is a netinst
ISO and one that has no packages, etc on it except to bootstrap and get
on the network.

I've heard several other reports of this ISO working on the SC420.
