I'll try to install CentOS 4.3 for X86_64.
Do you have an idea how I can find out which device causes the keyboard to freeze? I'm not able to watch at the consoles without input device :-( Is there a list which single devices/buses I can disable to probe for?
I tried to boot with dd=nfs:<ip>:<path> too. But at the moment the installer tries to load megaraid_sas BEFORE network is reachable :-( So I think I need noprobe the device which freezes the keyboard _and_ in addition I need to find out how to noprobe for any SAS-Device (storage controllers). Does the option scsi=noprobe exists?
You can boot with the 'nostorage' option to disable all storage controllers, then add the appropriate drivers in by hand after the driver disk is loaded.
