The initrd created using mkinitrd-4.2.15-11tr (provided with beta3 iso) 
lacked ide-disk module which is the cause of this problem. The fix has 
been done and will be available in the upcoming iso.

Work around:
1. Boot into rescue mode
2. #chroot /mnt/sysimage
3. #mv /boot/initrd-2.6.19.2-1tr.img /boot/initrd-2.6.19.2-1tr.img.old
4. #mkinird --with=ide-disk /boot/initrd-2.6.19.2-1tr.img  2.6.19.2-1tr
