I include the log part that mention grub-installer but as you can see there is only the successful installation of grub, the only problem I see with grub is a timeout during download. Is grub downloaded just before using it? Could it be that d-i does not found grub and report generic problem I confused with a problem in running grub-install? If you need the whole logs just ask them I will create a tarbal and send it.
