Shouldn't this be on the list?

Owners of HP DC7700 computers are going to be bitten by this; if it's
not fixed in F8, then they're going to have a hard time installing.

We that have DC7700's are used to having Linux trouble :-(

You can still do the installation by booting with
pci=nomsi,nommconf


I know that, but I don't believe I will be the last to try to install Linux to one.

It's fine as a workaround, but a final solution it's not, especially as one can't easily and immediately find how to overcome it.

Since it reportedly works in F7, there doesn't seem to me a good reason to leave it.

Even worse:

I tried booting Knoppix 5.0 on one (I have two here). It fails, the workaround doesn't, and knoppix is configured to boot quietly, so no messages.

The workaround is required for Knoppix 5.1, does work and the drives come up at /dev/hd{,c}

btw
Can anyone confirm that one really can install two drives in these? If so, I might put my original back (alone, it's not big enough).
