"HP Pavilion" covers a VERY wide range of eras, specs, processors,
chipsets, etc, so you might get more specific. Also, more specifics
about "gave me a warning" might help.
(At some point in the near future I'm going to attempt to clean-install
squeeze on my HP Pavilion dv2130US.)

Has anyone installed squeeze on an HP Pavillion ?

Not squeeze. I tried Lenny a year or so ago, on my Pavilion DV6, and
failed for reasons I can't now recall. Think it was wireless. I gave up,
and tried Ubuntu, which installed without problem. Still running Lenny
on my desktop and server, though.

My experience with two different HP dv6xxx laptops was not good. They
both "corroded" slowly as I used them. One eventually wouldn't
recognize any internal wireless card I put in it -- I ended up going
with a usb wireless device. This one has run Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04
The other doesn't recognize the wired interface. I installed Squeeze on
it, and it worked for a while. After a couple weeks it wouldn't boot
without "noapic" and/or "nolapic" -- I can't remember which.

My machine is an HP Pavillion desktop, a1600n. A netinstall seemed to
be going smoothly until:
When I try to boot, I see briefly, before the grub menu:
8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC.
The subsequent boot attempt from grub has the monitor briefly display
a "signal out of range" and then go dark. (I've tried two different monitors)
Somebody suggested that I add the command "noapic" at the grub prompt.
Grub displays a debian kernel, 2.6.32-5-686,
which I highlight and then type "e",
which gives me a display:
at the end of the line beginning "linux", then control-x to boot,
and get the same dark screen as before.
