nic problems on hp servers

[Pablo Iranzo Gómez]

	Ok, then you'll need to pack those drivers on a custom initrd and
insmod them before continue with the installation...

	There seems to be some questions regarding this in previous posts,
do a site:redhat.com search at google for "packing drivers into anaconda"
and equivalent senteces, and you'll get some pointers

	Regards
	Pablo
