This sounds like an issue someone had a few days ago with another HP server, suggested they tried 8.04 as that worked fine on my HP servers but they didn't reply to the post to say if it worked or not so not sure if this is your solution! It might be worth a try though - it doesn't take long to install, if you do try and it and does work let me know as I have a couple more HP servers to setup soon!

Hi Philio,
Firstly I'll apologise for the guy who didn't reply to your offer of help. I came across this thread after a google. I get error 15 when I try to reboot from the HDD after successful installation of Intrepid server. At this moment I'm trying the standard desktop install to see if the same problems occur. I have 2x60gb HDD mirrored so I didn't use the raid option in setup. I successfully installed Heron desktop. If this goes ok I'll try 8.04LTS and let you know. Basically I only need this for a small network of 6 PCs to run XP pro in virtual server so I can run sage line 50.

Thanks in advance.
