Comments/Problems:

FIRST RUN:
	At reboot, the GRUB screen listed only "Other operating systems",
showing the kernel previously installed in /dev/hda1.  It didn't list the
newly installed kernel.
	Booted the previously installed system in /dev/hda1 (Debian Sarge,
kernel 2.6.8-686).  Mounted /dev/hda2 and examined /boot on that partition. 
No kernel, initrd, or System.map files present, only a grub directory.  The
progress bars said it was installing the kernel, but it's not there.


During install:
Selected linux-2.6.15-1-686
Selected initramfs-tools
Selected Debian popularity contest
Selected print server, DNS server, mail server, standard system.  Deselected
desktop environment.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECOND RUN:

Selected kernel-image-2.6-686
Selected initramfs-tools
Got: "Retrieving and installing the kernel - retrieving and installing
linux-image-2.6-686..."
Deselected Debian popularity contest, but it installed anyway
Deselected desktop environment
Deselected standard system
Didn't select any other tasks

Same result as before.  Also checked /var and /tmp.  Empty.  Grepped the
whole partition for vmlinuz.  Not there.

Hi!

As 2.4 kernels are no longer supported by recent versions of the
debian-installer, I am closing this bug report.

Cheers,
