SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition Installation

I started last week with the Beta installation of SharePoint 2010. The pre-requisites got installed without any issues. However after that when I try to install SharePoint foundation I get repeatedly prompted for reboots. Not heading anywhere. I see other people are facing this issue and I am not the only one... so I have some company.. I am still on it and will share the solution once I hot upon it.. keep checking back for updates
