Just installed 2.2 beta on Joomla 1.5.9 in a shared hosting environment and get the following message:

        * Install Component Success

        * Error Loading ModulesMySQL server has gone away SQL=SELECT id, title, module, position, content, showtitle, control, params FROM jdiff_modules AS m LEFT JOIN jdiff_modules_menu AS mm ON mm.moduleid = m.id WHERE m.published = 1 AND m.access <= 2 AND m.client_id = 1 ORDER BY position, ordering

If this is a new installation of CiviCRM, please review the online installation documentation.

If you are upgrading an existing installation of CiviCRM, please review the upgrade documentation.

CiviCRM includes the ability to expose Profile forms and listings, as well as Online Contribution and Event Registration pages, to users and visitors of the 'front-end' of your Joomla! site. Review this document to learn about configuring Profiles as custom front-end forms and search pages. Review this document to learn about configuring Online Contribution Pages, and review this document to learn about Event Registration pages.
I also got this error installing the 2.2 alpha with the special joomla improvements.

My .htaccess contains:

php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value register_globals off
php_value max_execution_time 600

Backend seems intact and allows me to do things like create an event, etc.

I tried installing with the Joomla FTP layer off and got the following error: 

        * JFolder::create: Could not create directory
        * Component Install: Failed to create directory.: "/home/.../public_html/components/com_civicrm"
EDIT:  It seems that this is a MySQL server problem, that the server is timing out before the command is completed.  Since I'm on shared hosting, I don't have the ability to increase the timeout or to set mysqli.reconnect on (it's currently off).

Any thoughts?
