Something similar on a ProLiant DL320 G5p on Fedora 9.

GRUB instantly reboots the machine instead of booting.

I tried a lot of things, but I have never got the machine booting
from the disks. I made a bootable iso on a rewriteable disc
and left the CDROM always in (this is a server).

Something is wrong at the BIOS/GRUB level, because the machine
is perfectly stable after the boot.
