I didn't follow the whole thread, so I hope the following is
meaningful. I also believe I had a similar problem and got help on
debian-boot.
In my case the reason that the kernel installation, and, more
precisely, mkinitrd failed is that there is/was a bug with etc/fstab in
the partitioner. What I did is the following:
1. Immediately before the installation of base I executed a shell.
This option is at the bottom of the expert version. I don't know
whether the regular (linux) version has it.
2. Within the shell, the command
cat target/etc/fstab
failed. So one has to issue
/usr/lib/partconf/mkfstab
3. Exit the shell and continue with the installation of the boot
system.
Thank to Petter Reinholdtsen from

and to anyone working on the d-i.
