RE: more about RHEL 4 installation hanging

["Paul Urbel" <Paul Urbel MicroLink ee>]

This isn't this case firstly I can't get any traceback. My workaround
was using textmode install with kickstart. These metioned server blades
had also iLO blackout and after installation crash somebody had to reset
server blade and enlosure management module. Problem occured with three
different server blades and two enclosures. Once we changed management
module and backplane with replacement so first suspect is HP firmware.
Unfortunately I can't repeat installation anymore - servers are in use.
