I've seen this behavior on a DC7700 HP desktop.
After the installation, the machine hang during firstboot with
a grey pattern and a big X cursor.
The next installation was OK.
The dmidecode of this machine is attached to:

(this is another bug, fixed).
I can try 10 installs on Monday...

I think I saw this on hp dv9500. I did NOT reinstall, I just rebooted and
it was fine.
