[sles-beta] Beta1 install results in "Linuxrc crashed. :-(" message

Install SLES12 Beta1 x86_64 under VMware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776 on Windows 7 SP1 results in a "Linuxrc crashed.
:-((" message. 

After starting hardware detection and finding VMware-related bits:

	--begin--
	Starting udev... ok
	Loading basic drivers... ok
	Starting hardware detection... ok
	(If a driver is not working for you, try booting with 
	brokenmodules=drive_name.)

	VMware Virtual Machine Chipset
	   drivers: at_piix*, ata_generic, pata_acpi
	VMware LSI Logic Parallel SCSI Controller
	   drivers:mptspi*
	VMware PRO/1000 MT Single Port Adapter
	   drivers: e1000*

	Linuxrc crashed. :-((
	Press ENTER to continue.
	---end---

VM was created for Linux | SUSE Linux (64-bit) with 512MB virtual RAM (up to 1GB), 20GB SCSI hard disk, NAT, IDE CD/DVD
drive pointing at ISO.

At the initial Installer screen set Language to English (UK) [F2], Video Mode to Text Mode [F3], and Source to HTTP
pointing at a network mount of ISO [F4] then hitting install leaving Boot Options blank (it gets IP address, etc. via
DHCP from VMware.

Changing Language to 'English (UK)' seems to be causing Linuxrc to crash.
Leaving this as default (so left at English (US)) but changing other things allows install to proceed. It is than
possible to change to Language and Keyboard to "English (UK)" later through YaST.

Setting Language to Deutsch, Español, and Français at installation time, and the installation proceeds.
So it looks like there's an issue specifically related to "English (UK)" files.

Thanks
