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,
