I had exactly the same problem when I installed Potato, and for exactly the same reason - I had i810 videocard. Following the advices I got from this mailing list, I ended up installing Woody (the "unstable" version of debian), and it worked fine. I'm not sure if this is useful, because I'm a newbie just like you... hopefully, it is.
