Tested patch  of 22/11/06 by  running d-i  in expert mode and copying
a patched grub-installer into /usr/bin/ of the running initrd. Grub is
installed properly with serial terminal and the "console=" parameter
is also added to kopt as it should be.

With the current kernel you then hit bug http://bugs.debian.org/378204
which is a kernel bug that will disappear with the 2.6.18 kernel transition.
Work arround for 2.6.17 kernels is to remove "console=ttyS..." from
kernel command line in grub on first boot then login and either
upgrade kernel to 2.6.18 OR
 echo "blacklist 8250_pnp" >/etc/modprobe.d/local-8250_pnp-off
