step by step :-)
I booted now with
'linux dd=nfs:<ip>:<path> nostorage nousb ksdevice=eth0'
nostorage to disable probing for the SAS-devices and nousb to keep my keyboard working. This works nearly perfect:
anaconda loads the driver disk and shows me the text of the file 'modinfo' within the devices list (LSI Logic megaraid_sas Driver ver v00.00.02.03). But when I try to load the driver I can see on the second console (alt+F2) that he can't find the kernel module.
Is the installer not able to copy the contents of the disk-image into a specific directory? What is happening when anaconda is loading the disk? Is it neccessary to extract 'modules.cgz' on the driver disk first?

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.
