I can confirm this issue with the Final release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server edition on a HP DL380 G2 server.
The HP DL380 G2 server also has a ServerWorks chipset:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom CNB20HE Host Bridge (rev 23) 00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom CNB20HE Host Bridge (rev 01) 00:00.2 Host bridge: Broadcom CNB20HE Host Bridge (rev 01) 00:00.3 Host bridge: Broadcom CNB20HE Host Bridge (rev 01) 00:0f.0 ISA bridge: Broadcom OSB4 South Bridge (rev 51) 00:0f.1 IDE interface: Broadcom OSB4 IDE Controller 00:0f.2 USB Controller: Broadcom OSB4/CSB5 OHCI USB Controller (rev 04)
My installer also hangs at "Retreiving binutils-static-udeb".
It seems I just can't install 8.04 LTS on my server. I hope this will be fixed in 8.04.1.
