Then nothing more happens... > nothing... I've seen that too. Do you have any add-on PCI network card in that box? It seems that the current debian kernel has bugs with some network drivers. Loading tg3 or tulip drivers with such network cards in the PCI slots will trigger a High Priority Machine Check (what you saw here). If you don't want to bother too much, I'd suggest installing etch and then upgrading to lenny, sticking to the etch kernel until you can build your own kernel.
