Hi,
I did a few dozen SL4.1 (beta,rc,...) installations on different notebooks
during the past weeks, and have never seen anything like this.
But then these are kickstart installations, with a fairly lengthy
%post. Hence if your problem would be due to the disk not being
synced properly between the grub installation and the reboot, I wouldn't
encounter it.
Guess that's not too helpful,
Stephan
