I installed Fedora 21 on my HP Proliant DL380p G8 Server and I received the attached  message when Fedora attempts to load.  Thanks for any help in advance.

The firmware bug error is just informational and causes no issue. HP server use a performance monitor that the OS thinks it should own (Linus has had some lively discussion over this)

The ERST error may not be harmful.  Have you entered the root password to get into single user mode and run journalctl -xb to see the logs?

You can also try adding boot options like 'noapic acpi=off' to see if you can boot
