>How-To-Repeat:
Simply load this build. We load it via PXEboot, completely automated sysinstall. we can provide a CDROM iso with all the bits
This same build works on HP DL320, DL380, Dell SC400, SC420.
o it appears to be a HP DL140 problem, but we've upgraded the bios to the latest 04502T03, which
It appears that Dragonfly has the same issue when dragonfly is tracking 5.3-STABLE.

>Fix:
Some folks have reported success disabled DMA in the BIOS.
Unfortunately, the AMI box for DL140 does not have an option to disable DMA.
Examining the source for loader, it seems that the problem is in acpidetect() or in interact(), however, both of those are in some library and I'm not sure where that code is located.
