   Hi all,   
      
   I got a cheep Proliant DL380 G5 and want to install   
      
   openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-x86_64.iso   
      
   In principle it worked. But after the installation the system does not   
   boot. And the installation needed some hand work:   
      
   - without selecting kernel safe settings the kernel hangs   
   - the raid controller is not detected automatically. So I needed to add   
   the controller in a shell:   
      
   modprobe cciss cciss_allow_hpsa=1   
   modprobe hpsa hpsa_allow_any=1   
      
   After that I could do a normal install. parted had problems with the   
   swap disk and reported an error. But I don't want to use swap, so it was   
   not required to do anything.   
      
   And I got an error after (or during) the installation of the bootloader   
   from yast (I did not note it, but it referenced to ruby debugger). I   
   fount out, that someone could install centos at this machine, so in   
   principle grub and the other tools should work.   
      
   And like expected the system does not boot. So, here my questions:   
      
   - How can I give the required modules (and its parameters) to the   
   installation program?   
   - Are the modules and options transferred to grub and initrd or do I   
   need to do something for that?   
   - How do I need to install grub?   
      
   If nothing helps, I could also use a USB stick as boot medium. Is there   
   any automatic way to created one from an installed system before the   
   first boot?   
      
   Thanks,   
   Jan
