IBM eServer BladeCenter HS21

Hi all,

i am trying to install Suse 9i on a "IBM eServer BladeCenter H21".

By using SP3 first cdrom to boot (and then inserting v9 cdroms to continiue) the instalaltion hangs on initiall Suse logo.

On the background (alt+f2) the last message i get is:
starting setctsid 'showconsole' inst_setup yast

By using directly v9 cdrom installation continiues but doesnt detect any hard disk (probably has no drivers from the raid controller)

Any ideas?
Thanks

There is no information for IBM Bladecenter on the site (or even IBM...)

According to IBM site suse 9 SP3 is compatible but isnt working

Anyone has any information that could help??
