SCSI termination problem installing Redhat 7.1

Hi,
we finally made some progress installing Redhat 7.1 on the p610. We
successfully booted the kernel over ethernet and have got the installer
been displayed over serial console. We have been able to configure
network connection. We choose FTP install and have got the base files
downloaded by the installer!
Then the Redhat Anaconda installer application starts and lets us
choose the system type we want to install. We chose 'custom
installation' and the Anaconda application crashes immediately. It has
been the same with 'server' and 'workstation' installion type.
We guess its because of some SCSI conflict with our machine. The dmesg
output says something so. Below you can find the Anaconda error message
and the dmesg kernel output. Booting with the Suse kernel leads to the
same affect. It complains about SCSI bus termination. However
installation of AIX works like a charm.
Any idea? Can someone maybe provide us with a working install kernel
for the p610.
