I had the same problem with i840, Adaptec, Seagate SCSI. Probably the
installer is copying an incomplete initrd image. To make matters worse,
the boot-disk that the installer advises to make doesn't work either.
I'm guessing it uses a buggered version of mkbootdisk that's fixed now.
Hopefully these issues will be resolved by beta2.
Later,
Rick
