[Users] Unable to install ovirt node on IBM system X blade server

[Pavel Zhukov]

I've tested F17 on IBM bladeservers (HS20,HS21,HS22,HS22V) It's been
installed correctly with UEFI as well as with legacy. 
Unfortunately I cannot check bladecenter with ovirt-node right now.  
Which bladeserver have you tested?
