We're running and mapping human samples on our new(ish) HiSeq2000 and we're seeing some low mapping rates out of ELAND. Even if you don't run ELAND, I'd be interested in hearing what other HiSeq users' mapping rates look like with Bowtie/BWA/whatever.

6% is kind of surprisingly low. We're seeing 20% on our transcriptome runs with Bowtie, but I suspect that may have something to do with the library construction and how the paired reads may overlap (which Bowtie can not deal with, minimum insert size is 0).

I realize the OP asked about the HiSeq. We don't have a HiSeq, but I wouldn't expect the results to be very different from the GAIIx since they use the same chemistry so I'll throw this out there for comparison.
We recently sequenced a maize transcriptome with 101bp single end reads. We truncated to 76 bp and used tophat, which uses bowtie, and we were able to map 66% of the reads.
I think something is wrong if you are only mapping 6%. Was the library ribo-depleted or polyA? Was the library checked on a bioanalyzer to see if primer-dimers were present and to assess how much rRNA was present in the sample? We have had user prepared libraries that have had as much as 80% rRNA present in the final library.

Also, if your RNA has mycoplasma contamination (from cell culture) you will get much lower mapping rates.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-
