The Debian Squeeze installer USB stick crashes when I try to run it on my EEE PC.

When I use the installer in my EEE PC, the installer pauses after I select "Install", and a few seconds later garbage appears on the top edge of the screen, dances around a while, then everything stops. (Oddly, I successfully installed Debian on my PC with the same stick.)

To make myself an installer USB stick I followed the "Squeeze (testing) using an updated d-i" instructions from here:

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/InstallUsingStandardInstaller

I'm pretty sure that I've foolowed the instructions correctly. I used the versions of these files that existed on Saturday, September 11 2010:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_alpha1/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso

Please help. I'm very keen on using Debian on my EEE PC, I've used it on my desktop computers for years, I'm sure I'll be able to patiently set things up once I'm past step 0.
