As an update, the problem remains on the latest iso image for testing
amd64 (August 22nd, 2011 DVD-1). This time I tried it on a different
system (a Linux Certified Inc. LC2131 laptop) and it failed with the
same error. Once again the logs are not present (I searched for them
from a shell given to me by the Debian Installer) and system is
unbootable...
This is the only way I can install Debian on this new laptop! because
it has a new SSD drive that partman-md from Squeeze can't handle and
the installation fails too...
I'm trying on of those Debian squeeze + kernel from backports iso
image to see if I can get a working system and then upgrade from
there....
