DL140 Hard Stop Error

[DannyF]

I recently updated my BIOS to the latest Rev before reloading Windows. I have a Proliant DL140 G1 Server. Wnen I try to boot the Smart Start 5.5 CD the SmartStart splash screen briefly comes on and then I get a couple of post screns and then I get a Black screen with the message:"Hard Stop" and that's as far as I get. I tried two different 5.5 CDs. I tried a later one but it told me that the version of SmartStart I was trying to use (6.3) was not for this computer, to use 5.5 or earlier. The Server has a few years on it. Looking for a little direction.
