As there is absolutely no mention of 2.6.8 in this installation itself, 
the problem seems to be in the bootloader configuration and not in 
base-installer. Are you sure that the correct initrd and kernel are 
loaded?

I don't see anything in the logs about bootloader setup...

The only issue I can see in the install is the same as already spotted by 
Sven:
   apt-install: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-runtime.c: 76:
   fixup: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xff) == 21' failed!
I would say that this is a problem in the target system (maybe 
initramfs-tools) rather than in the installer as apt-install effectively 
runs in the /target chroot.
It also seems as if this error does not affect the installation itself as 
it just continues (although it might cause a broken initrd). It may be 
related, but it could also be a totally unrelated issue (though probably 
worth following up).

The best way to debug this would be switching to console after base 
installation, do a 'chroot /target' and try to generate the initrd 
manually (with verbose options and checking the result afterwards; you 
may have to mount /sys and /proc).

Anyway, the bootloader configuration should be checked to see why it tries 
to do anything with a 2.6.8 kernel which presumably comes from some old 
install.
