Please keep assuming that I know what I'm talking about. I do occasionally
make mistakes, but I also read about 25 installation reports per week and
I am the release manager of the installation system...

So, send us the output of dmesg (or at least the relevant part of it) from
the installer. Show us that you actually don't have an eth0, but that you
do have an eth1.
The reason that I suggested you must have a second NIC is that that is the
only reason "interface=eth1" could _ever_ do _anything_ remotely useful.

That is weird as interface=xxx is not a kernel parameter, but only a
debian-installer specific parameter.
As far as I'm concerned, you still have not identified a real issue in the
installer.
