>Description:
I am unable to install FreeBSD 7.2 amd64 neither nor FreeBSD 7.3 i386 on brand new HP Proliant DL380 G7 server. This is Dual-CPU Xeon X5670 with 48GB of RAM.

I use unmodified ISO images downloaded from official mirror and burned on CD.

FreeBSD 7.2/7.3 panics very often at random moments of the installation menu.

Sample screenshots are attached here:

panic: page fault
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 36s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
Rebooting...

>How-To-Repeat:
