You can force generic ide until you get a newer kernel installed.

I managed to install using one of the testing daily builds. I believe if you
hit F3 or F4 at the boot prompt there will be an example of how to force
ide-generic or something like that (I don't have my CD handy.)
While slow, it worked well enough to get Lenny installed. I was then able to
install the 2.6.21 that was then in unstable. You may be able to get Etch
installed the same way.
