Which probably means that you are running an old grub and not the one
created by the new installation.

Impossible. If the installer cannot install the kernel, it will fail in a
big way. They _have_ been installed, just not where you are looking.
Try running the installation again and, after the base-installation phase
has finished, switch to VT2 (using alt-F2) and ls /target/boot. You
should see the kernel there.
Do the same after bootloader installation.
My guess is that you are affected in some way by the first erratum item
listed on [1].
