You say kernel-image-9-2.6.8-k8 but then you also say:

Those two don't match.

Remove that.  I know you just added it for debugging.

You are missing an initrd line.

I don't think there is enough information here to debug the problem.
It seems like you are trying to install on a base 32-bit system a
kernel capable of running both 32-bit and 64-bit code, right?  But the
kernel you say you are installing and the grub line you are showing do
not match.

What is in your /boot directory?

If you run update-grub manually what kernels does it find in /boot?
What menu.list results does it produce?
