ok, more details:
the notebook boots fine with 11.1 (and before 11.0)
I just created a nwe boot partition and LV for root with copies from the 11.1
system for update/RC1 test. the system did boot on the 11.1 "clone" before
updating.
system boots again after grub-install from 11.1. this all does not look like
typical configuration problems. but who knows...
anyway, there should not be any reason for grub just to reset/reboot and not
show an useful error message and stop/wait.

This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
