I tried installing FC6 i386 on this box:
2.6.18-1.2869.fc6:
real 0m0.017s
user 0m0.014s
sys 0m0.003s
It also needs acpi=off in order to boot.
BIOS is still v1.06.

All of our HP DC7700 (1.86GHz processors) are having this problem. It
will boot with no options to the kernel and with acpi=off. Defaults
are turned on in the bios. After about 48 hours of uptime the speed
improves by a little. 7 seconds instead of 8-10 to run the little
test. Both on 64bit and 32bit FC6 installations.
