Comments/Problems:
I typically put my boot partition and my boot loader on an IDE disk
because there is a small delay when booting off of SCSI. I installed
grub to /dev/hda which worked fine but its configuration was not
correct. Here's the relevant section of its configuration:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.22-1-386
root (hd1,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386 root=/dev/sda2 ro
initrd /initrd.img-2.4.22-1-386
savedefault
boot
The problem is that it's looking for the kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386 on
the root of (hd1,1), but (hd1,1) is the wrong partition. (hd1,1) is
/dev/sda2 which is my / partition. The (hd1,1) above should be (hd0,0)
which is /dev/hda1 which is my /boot partition.
Other than that the install went well.

Hi,
Thanks for your report.
Closing as it's an installation report from debian installer version
which isn't supported anymore.
Feel free to test and report any issues against the current debian
installer release (Squeeze RC1) which supports more hardware and also
it's improved.
Thanks!
