Edit: I did it! w00t! Turns out I had to choose i386 from the options at Debian. Also, when the Debian booted, error EIP 00000060 c0100231 00000230 appeared. I looked this up, and I had to type LINUX ACPI=OFF during booting. This didn't work either; I found out I had to change the onboard virtual memory from 8mb to 1mb. It's not the linux people at all. The problem was that the default onboard virtual memory of hp pavilions is too high. It took me three days to find that out.
