I'm in doubt that it is so simple. Maybe Andrews and my red screen are
caused by different reasons. Remember, I can configure and install a
machine for the first time -> red screen. Now I just restart the
installation process and all seems to work. I haven't found a way to
reset the machine to a state where I can reproduce the red screen. And
remember, the partition table in the MBR is different on the same
machine in the erroneous resp. the good state. And there is the
observation that the machine seems to red screen if the bootloader in
the MBR is not valid. Google knows other people with a similar problem.

Uff, lucky me ;). I asked because the HP support asks about the firmware
updates over and over again ;).

My customer has tons of them, too.
