Yep,

  burned a DVD and it install ok. I'm installing on a test machine 
MoBo Intel SE7520BD2 with 2 Xeon 2.8GHz HT processors, using the onboard
LSI Logic SCSI controller, Intel NIC, etc... (I'm using all onboard).

  I'll try to install on one of my servers (HP DL380 G4) next week.

  Thanks,

     Antonio.
