 An essentially identical problem shows up on all dv9000 series HP 
 Laptops (both AMD and Intel CPUs).
 
 If <spacebar> is pressed just after the BIOS splash screen disappears, 
 and then <enter> is pressed at the boot slice prompt, the boot continues 
 normally and the system will both install and run (with the same 
 workaround for the boot each time).
