Maybe I lacked patience to sort it out properly. That is why I went to boot parameters for language and keyboard. The OP does not say how the preseed file is provided to the installer. My recollection (not checked) is that putting it in the initrd is the only way of ensuring language and keyboard preseeding from the start of the installation. -- Brian.
