AW: [CentOS] Problems with installation

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?

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.
