Unhappy Debian Install Issue - Debconf loop


I'm currently trying to get debian (etched) installed via the net-install on my machine. I'm running into an issue before I can even get to the configuration options. I press enter and it goes through the Loading /install /vmlinux ... it runs through a good two pages of loading stuff and then goes into a loop with the following output.

debconf [-ffrontend] [-ppriority] [-oowner] <config script>
debconf [--frontend=frontend] [--priority=priority] [--owner=owner] <config script>

I've installed debian a few times before and have never run into this issue. I thought it might of been the cd at first and reburned at a slower speed and with two different programs. If anyone has any input on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cracka

That's a mystery. Perhaps installing Sarge, and then, changing the repositories to Etch, you can upgrade to Etch via dist-upgrade.
