2 of these problems may be the debian default.
Instead of just booting the debs cd, type bf24 (the default debian install
uses a 2.2 kernel that probably lacks a lot of hardware)...

bf24 also has built in ext3 support and when you select that, the installer
offers you the choice.

lspci helps in identifying hardware, as you know.
What's it say about the video card/chipset?
