RHEL 4 and HP dx5150

[Mauro Gasparri]

No luck with "linux noapic". Also no update for BIOS. It's courious, but 
both on HP and Red Hat web sites, it says that RHEL 4 is certified for HP 
dx5150.

Tryed disabling APIC from BIOS also.

When I go to install log (via Ctrl+Alt+3), y see:

formatting / as ext3
formatting /boot as ext3
error reading swap label on /dev/VolGroup00: [Errno 21] Is a directory
error reading xfs label on /dev/VolGroup00: [Errno 21] Is a directory
error reading jfs label on /dev/VolGroup00: [Errno 21] Is a directory

Tryed with another hard disk, with no success.

The problem is when /boot is finishing format, between that and the 
begginning of file copy.

Try "linux noapic" and see how that works.  It's not uncommon for the
BIOS to muck up the APIC routing.  You should also see if there's a BIOS
update for the machine.
