Passing module parameters via pxelinux?

Hi,

SLES 11 SP3 has a problem in the hpsa module not supporting the P410i
controller found e.g. on HP ProLion ML350 G6. Novell suggest passing
the hpsa_allow_any module parameter:
http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7014067

I fail to do that in AY. We boot via PXE and I load the needed modules
for the raid controllers e.g. with "insmod=hpsa" in te pxelinux.cfg file.
But I didn't find a way to pass the hpsa_allow_any parameter here.
Is it possible somehow? Putting hpsa_allow_any as normal kernel parameter
(just "hpsa_allow_any") did not work, neither did "hpsa_allow_any=1"
right after the insmod=hpsa.

I tried putting 
  <init>
    <info_file>
<![CDATA[
#
# Don't remove the following line:
# start_linuxrc_conf


insmod=hpsa hpsa_allow_any=1

# end_linuxrc_conf
# Do not remove the above comment
#
]]>

    </info_file>
  </init>


in my control file, but before linuxrc loads the cciss module before
considering the XML file. Same with passing "info=nfs://myserver/mypath/info"
and "insmod: hpsa  hpsa_allow_any=1" in the info file. Seems to come in too late.

Is there a way to
a) either tell linuxrc it should blacklist the cciss module
b) or pass the hpsa_allow_any parameter to linuxrc in the pxelinux.cfg file
c) or let linuxrc consider the info or xml file before the automatic
   hardware scan?

cu,
Frank
