Comments/Problems:
I am install debian Jessie (testing) from burned iso (KDE) desktop, although 
it does not matter which DE is chosen. Install recognizes hardware correctly. 
When partition the HD, chose EXT4 on one partition. The installer does format 
and partition the HD. After partition is complete, and error reporting linux 
kernel is unavailable or busy does not know about changes. The installer offers 
you to ignore or cancel this error. In any event it will just keep providing 
those options. If you reboot, and attempt installation again, partitioning 
takes place, and the error does not happen again. At the end of the 
installation process, it does not offer you to install grub, and installer 
fails out, nothing happens. 
In short, the installer does not install or correctly install grub, and system 
is unbootable upon restart.

Ah, glad to read you find your way to get your system installed. Since
we're lacking information to debug this further, I'm closing this bug
report for the time being. More bug reports when jessie installation
images are released are welcome. ;-)

Mraw,
