Sorry, it was my fault, and I was able to reproduce it with sarge_d-i.
As this notebook had WinXP, Win98, an old SuSE and a previous d-i test
installed, I did not replace the boot loader with grub but kept the old
one. It was lilo, so I should have run lilo from Suse. Creating a new
ext3 file system apparently did not destroy the kernel from the old
d-i test months ago, that was a 2.4.25. After updating lilo, the
installation finished flawlessly.
Sorry for the noise.
Herbert
