etch amd64 installation kernel panic on a HP DL 180 G5

[TN <tnuro@yahoo.com.au>]

Hello all,
I'm getting the following while the installation cd is booting when 
trying to install etch 4.0r5 amd64 onto a HP DL 180 G5 server (dual E5405's)

code: a8 01 74 11 31 c0 81 fb 10 27 00 00 0f 94 c0 f7 d8 74 0f eb
console shuts up
<0> Kernel panic - not syncing. Attempted to kill init!

I've tried with noapic & nolapic but no difference.
Etch 386 installs fine.

I also tried installing Ubuntu server 8.10 and64, and it actually goes 
through the entire installation, but refuses to boot once installed.

Any ideas ?
