Hi,

Just a hunch, but can you still log-in as install/installer? Perhaps the
kernel/initrd didn't get flashed and you somehow ended up in
debian-installer again?

Other than that I'd recommend hooking up a serial console. It can save a
lot of time troubleshooting if that's a viable option for you.

Best of luck!
Jan
