The last sentence doesn't agree with what you wrote earlier.

The above sounds like you are trying to boot from the wrong disk.
AFAIK, the debian install does not change the primary/secondary boot
path to point to the disk you installed on. Interrupt the boot
process and direct the primary (firmware) boot to try different disks.

This has nothing to do with palo version.
If PALO failed to load the kernel, then we could talk about PALO
versions.

This sounds more like a bug in the installer scripts.
I suggest trying to work around it by going into the shell
and running palo by hand.  PALO HowTo is here:
