If the boot process reached this point it could be not a matter of CD rom,
maybe a problem of kernel, isn't it? 8-))

I hadn't work for HP so long to see the 650 MHz CPUs available, you are
a lucky HP systems user!!!;-P

I don't remember the meaning of the led ligthing combination: what I suggest
is to extract all the h/w that you don't really need: leave 1 processor
, the memory, 1 disk; the rest (network cards, fiber channel cards, scsi
cards, extra functionality boards) leave it out.
Fire up the system and see if the msg is repated; you can also try with
the new d-i to boot up the system to see whether it hangs again(with an
earlier kernel version).

I agree with Joel
