Adding vga=792 to my kernel stops the panic and I get the splash. Unfortunately at the end of the boot when loading kdm it stuck but I believe this has more to do with the fglrx driver that I am trying to get configured. Strangely when I leave splash off and do not set vga X starts fine. I will have to try a few more boots and look at the logs to determine if they are linked.
Thanks for the info. Hope this can be fixed prior to final release.
