Such (or similar) problems are already documented, i.e. see
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#boot-hangs.
That documents a problem when upgrading from etch to lenny, but the
problem is similar, and the solution is the same:
don't name the device by it's device name (i.e. /dev/sda1), but by
it's label (which can be specified during partitioning step) or by
UUID (which is unique for every harddisk on earth).
d-i people:
Is device-naming defaulted to UUID now?
(during my installation tests in the near past I saw that UUID
was used by default.)
If this is the case:
Would you agree, that this bug can be closed?
