Can you be more specific about what problems you are seeing.  Are you
trying to install the i386 or amd64 version?  Does it work if you
disable ACPI?  Have a look through PR "i386/104678: SMP not working on
Turion XP Laptop" and see if this helps.

Without knowing exactly what problem you are having on the dv6308ca,
it's difficult to answer this.

Note that, based on my experiences trying to resolve a faulty-on-
delivery laptop with HP Support , I would not recommend buying HP at
all.
