No, kernel-mode-setting here refers to enabling graphics mode from kernel[1]. The problem here _seems_ to be that kernel you're trying to run supports kernel-mode-setting, and has probably that enabled by default, but userland (Debian Etch) isn't expecting kernel-mode-setting, as kernel-mode-setting functionality only got introduced after Debian Lenny, i.e. 2.6.28 and later. So, try booting with "nomodeset" kernel command-line option, not sure if that will work.
