I recently installed Debian amd64 on a virtual machine hosted in a DELL Power Edge 1950 running VMWARE. One of the problems I faced was that it was necessary to change some settings in the BIOS of the DELL server, enabling 64-bit and VT option.
Im not sure if this is your problem but anyway .

The installation procedure wouldn't go beyond this error, for standard install or expert install. It failed on the netinst disk as well as the CD-1 disk. The error message in syslog says nothing helpful about the error. I don't think that this installation failure has anything to do with the AMD64 version of Debian. Therefore I'm going to post this on the i386 list as well, after I try the i386 installation.
