After all the fuss, my machine decided to go the Trap000E :'( during boot, right after the little white box. I even tried reinstalling the same version over it but the result was the same. Nothing seemed to be able to get around that. I just couldn't boot anymore, so I installed V2 RC1 to another partition and systems are all go now :-) .
