Only problems I came across were: 1. Flash the board to the lastest/BIOS. This had cured a few issues when it was running Linux SMP previously. 2. Enable the Intel MP spec in BIOS, 1.4 if available (no longer have the system so can't verify, but I believe it's a BIOS option even on the BP-6) 3. If you're overclocking it, go back to the normal speed at least for the install. I hadn't reloaded that system in so long I forgot they were 366MHz CPUs (they were overclocked to somewhere ~450MHz), and ran into all kinds of problems until I checked and then reset it back to the default...which was interesting, as the system had been successfully running Oracle on RH7.3 for some time previously in the same configuration... Definitely never saw any similar messages as yours, but there's also a BP-6 motherboard issue some have come across- try googling for "BP-6 problem" if all else fails, something about a (filtering?) cap being the wrong size...
