What seemed to work for me was to boot with gui22-install (or whatever it
was called). If I booted with the default gui-install or with a text based
installer it would give me the same error (plus, it would give me a
different error b/c I didn't have enough disk space).

To be honest, I don't see any difference between 2.1 and 2.2 (then again, I
don't know what I'm looking for... though, it does now work better with my
monitor)
