Pristine disk. No data.

I selected "Install to disk". This works with 9.04 and for 9.10
partially loads.

If I take out the CD, then I get a bricked machine. At boot, only a black 
screen.
There's no messages at all.

If I leave the CD in, then I can do this to fix the problem...

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt
update-grub

This same problem occurs when I upgrade kernels. When 2.6.31-7-generic released
I did my normal 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' + reboot. Nada... Boot
selected 2.6.31-6-generic again. Looking at /boot/grub/grub.cfg I noticed the 
new
kernel was missing, same as when I did my fresh install.

A simple update-grub found the kernel.

I suspect some action is failing to fire in the packaging or some error is hit 
which
is quietly unreported then quietly fails prior to running update-grub.

Perhaps a good way to test this is to remove 2.6.31-7-generic from my system 
and do
some sort of verbose install, then report the output to you or someone who can 
tell
what's failing.

I'm happy to do this. Just tell me the apt-get install options to use and I'll 
return
the installation log.
