debian install

Well tell you what:
I've had this stupid thing on all night and for the past 5 hours it has been
stuck on the 'installing drivers' screen.

It really should work; I mean, my mepis distribution loads and even installs
(even though I don't have enough ram- 29788KB). It just came to me: this
must be the reason that it takes so long to get past the eth0 detection step:
not enough ram. What do you think?

As it was loading it came to th0 detection and said to the effect of

eth0: command 0x5800 did not complete. Status=0xffff
eth0: command 0x2804 did not complete. Status=0xffff
eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete. Status=0xffff
eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete. Status=0xffff
eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete. Status=0xffff
eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete. Status=0xffff
eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete. Status=0xffff
eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete. Status=0xffff

Any clue as to what this means?
This is what else dmesg says:

ACPI disabled because BIOS is from 96 and too old.
ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP
150.000 MHZ processor

I don't know what else to put up.
