Maybe debugging with earlyprintk can help?
Try passing "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" to the kernel command
line.
See: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Command-line_parameters
You mentioned, that "your" kernel does not crash, and that you run
on serial console.
Can you please capture the full output and post it here?
Then maybe I'm able to see what the difference between your machine
and all others is.
Do you maybe have some PCI cards, e.g. graphic cards or others added ?
I'm attaching the log file of the successful boot into the installer.
(It continues where it left off when I rebooted, probably because the
root fs is now not a ramdisk, but NFS.)
There are two graphics cards inside.
You mentioned that the standard kernel failed to detect your CDROM drive.
In most (somewhat newer) HP machines the CDROM drive was ATA connected
to on-board controllers.
I looks like ATA, I have to type "boot IDE" in order to boot the CD.
This worked so far that I could start the installer (it would find the
CD in the CD drive as installation media), but it complains that the
installer components (I believe kernel modules) are for a different
kernel than the booted version.
Yes, that's expected.
I guessed that.
I don't try the earlyboot now and boot the crashing variant, because I'm
not at the machine. I'll try in the next days when I'm on location.
