I found the problem. Obviously, the installation thought that this
PCI-E-to-PCI-X bridge was a network card and created a hardware
configuration hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:04:00.0 for it in /etc/sysconfig/hardware.
Now it tries to bind the bnx2 driver to this device.
I just removed the bogus hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:04:00.0 file, now the script
runs, doesn't find a suitable driver and exists.

Bye+Thanks,

Tino.
