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?
