Expected results:

To be able to install RHEL5.5 with out machine hanging on io scheduler.

Additional info:

I am able to have machine install if I append acpi=off to kernel options.
look at comment 2 for more details.
Comment 2 Vivek Goyal 2010-08-05 14:28:39 UTC 
Because you are able to boot with acpi=off, it is unlikely that it is CFQ issue. 

Can you try elevator=deadline option on kernel options and see if install is
successful or not (no acpi=off specified). If it is not successful, then it will more of less confirm that it is not CFQ issue but something else.
