Comments/Problems:
I tried the latest stable build
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r2/i386/bt-cd/ but got a crash on bootup; it was suggested that I try the latest build http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/bt-cd/ but the same problem exists.

Booting with the option acpi=off gets me further into the installation, but I have hardware problems down the line so I can't finish the installation. (Seems to be a problem with overheating).

I searched the internet and found that someone had a similar problem with a compaq armada, and this person had to build the kernel with a 3rd-party patch.
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hosted/armada-1700-debian/ Would I have to do something like that to get this to work?

Thanks, output below:
