    i had the same problem on the IBM xSeries x225, trying to boot it with
    several version of 5.x but without success.

    Only after installing Linux on the server i made an last attempt and
    booted some rescue cd (http://www.sysresccd.org/ ) which had the "smart
    boot manager" on it. i got into the smart boot manager, changed the cd
    to a 5.x one and selected to boot from cd and it worked.

    I have attached a dmesg from the server, since then updated to Beta4 (it
    was before the beta phase when i tried it)
