Quoting spamfang (spamfang1199@yahoo.de):

Could you use a daily build of the installer? At this step of the
squeeze development, we no longer recommend using alpha1 releases.

GRUB issues, particularly, should be tested with latest releases.

You can find daily builds from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. Please preferrably
choose the *netboot* image (not netinst). Despite its name, it is not
reserved for people who use network boot servers. It is indeed just an
"as minimal as possible" image that downloads components off the
network as soon as the network is up and running in D-I.

recorded....as your answer was only a private message to me)

Please provide the full installation log (you'll find it in
/var/log/debian-installer on the installed system).

I packed the whole /var/log/install folder into a tar.gz.

Today I tested a beta2 netinst cd installation on a system
with an already existing windows xp.
The installation went fine so far,
including:
- win32-loader to start the debian-installer in graphical mode
- resize of the ntfs partition
 
Regarding bootloader installation: I was told that windows xp was
detected on the system.
But there is no entry for it in the grub menu.
 
 
I will send the installation logs to this bugreport (that mail
will not reach the debian-boot list because of the big attachment).
