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.
