I have not been able to get the beta up and running. When at the step of installing and setting up grub I get a grub failure message every time. Is anyone else seeing this and is there a workaround?
thank you

Problem is currently x86_64 specific: the grub RPM on that hardware contains apparently a lot of 0-bytes - which makes the installed package size somewhat over 2GB(!). Looks that's the reason why it takes so long to install the package - and even some other problems might be related to this. Killing the installation of grub in a console might work. You can also use grub from the 11.0 media afterwards. Hope that helps.
