Jack,
These are old DL360 and nothing in SmartStart indicates the have USB ports.
I can get FC2 to install if I replace the default kernel in the install image with one I've built myself.
I'm 95% sure now that the problem I'm having with booting the default kernel (pre/post install) is that the driver for the embedded Smart Array controller is never being loaded. In fact, if I boot the install on ANY Compaq with a Smart Array (whether embedded or on-a-card), the install fails to boot.
If I boot my custom kernel, I see the kernel detect the array and load the cpqarray driver, but I don't see this happen with the kernel that is shipped with Fedora (1, 2, 3T1).

Note that even though I didn't specifically mention it, I have tried the uniprocessor kernels with no change.
Also tried ide=nodma with no change.

Compaqs are DL360s, 1850's, and 4500s with SMART array controllers and
896 meg of RAM.<snip>
Note that with most Compaqs, you must ensure that the option to "Enable
legacy USB support" is turned off in the BIOS to install linux. Look for
something like that and nuke it to see if things improve.
