Netinstall broken in Ubuntu 11.04 beta 2?

[Floris]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

After completing a network installation with Ubuntu 11.04 beta 2, the system fails to boot.
Only a blinking cursor is shown.

No errors are shown during installation.
After an installation with with the normal server CD, the system boots fine.

Test "system": VMware ESXi 3.5 virtual machine

Netinstall kernel and initrd used:

#!gpxe
kernel http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/beta-2/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux vga=normal
initrd http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/beta-2/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
boot

Tested with and without kickstart file, same result.

Hmm, I do get visual when I press "alt" + "arrow right" to switch to tty2.
So Linux does boot, it's just the console that is screwed up.

If I then login and do:

vi /etc/default/grub
-> remove the "splash" kernel option
update-grub

The problem goes away.

Only occurs on systems installed with the netboot version, server CD version works fine without this modification.
