Which probably means that you are running an old grub and not the one created by the new installation. > Booted the previously installed system in /dev/hda1 (Debian Sarge, > kernel 2.6.8-686).

They _have_ been installed, just not where you are looking. Try running the installation again and, after the base-installation phase has finished, switch to VT2 (using alt-F2) and ls /target/boot. You should see the kernel there. Do the same after bootloader installation. My guess is that you are affected in some way by the first erratum item listed on [1].
