Can I do sth. to create a more detailed log? I don't see the values
coming from the bios in y2log...

Ok, that's fine too :-)

That would be great, because I expect to run into the same problem with
SLES 10 on 30 IBM xSeries that have the same configuration. It would be
great if I didn't have to install all of them manually :-)

If you like, I can beta-test your pre-Uwe-Gansert-Code on my system,
I really don't mind doing that. If you want to send me some .ybc (or
.ycp files that I can recompile) I can use them via driverupdate and
give you some feedback. It's a test system, so it doesn't matter if
a sideeffect blows up the whole disk :-)

cu,
Frank
