i've seen (f7) kernels failing on hp machines ocasionally. after removing rhgb quiet from kernel line on grub, the errors looked like it was acpi linked. indeed adding acpi=off to the kernel line made those kernels boot again.

I've seen this behavior on a DC7700 HP desktop.

After the installation, the machine hang during firstboot with
a grey pattern and a big X cursor.

The next installation was OK.

The dmidecode of this machine is attached to:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251493

(this is another bug, fixed).

I can try 10 installs on Monday...
