I know, that is why I am wondering why it freezes including the install CD. Even if I would have to have a "enterprise" kernel (as I read in some other answers), the installer should provide at least an alternative kernel for such situations. It reminds me of the >3G problem on Windows NT and I hate M$ products. :) Only in NT if you had more than 3GB you had to pull a module out, install and then put it back in. I even tried starting "alt1" from the install CD and still the same freeze. :/
I will try now to boot the existing system by pulling one module out, rpm the enterprise kernel and then put it back in and see if it boots. but even if this is the solution it still doesn't seem right. :/ Anyway, just for info. I booted also just with the new module and boots ok.
