Could you test the daily built images of the installer:

Instead of installing Debian Etch, you will then install Debian Lenny
(unless you boot in expert mode and choose to install "stable") but
that will be much worthwhile for the Debian Installer team as bugs
with Etch images on some machines avec very unlikely to be fixed now....
