We're trying to install the S/390 Linux beta iso images dated Oct 4 from Red Hat's ftp site in an LPAR on a 9672-R35. We're able to IPL the first CD from the hardware management console and go through the dialog just fine. We're specifying the LCS driver so we can access our OSA-Express interface (emulated ethernet) using its device number and the appropriate IP address, netmask, broadcast, network, and gateway values. We then get errors stating the device is not found: SIOCSIFADDR: No Such Device eth0: unknown interface: No Such Device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No Such Device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No Such Device eth0: unknown interface: No Such Device SIOCADDRT: No Such Device SIOCADDRT: No Such Device We're sure our values are correct since they work just fine when going through the SuSE install using the same values. We included the latest IBM OCO modules for LCS and QDIO/QETH into the initrd and tapeinrd images per the docs and in fact can see them just fine when we finally get to the "#" prompt. We've also tried manually loading the modules with insmod. Either way an ifconfig only shows the lo device. Eth0 doesn't exist. Same symptoms if we try the QDIO/QETH modules with our gigabit interface (which also works with our SuSE installation). I guess my question is whether anyone has used an OSA-Express card (or gigabit for that matter) successfully with the beta images. Any suggestions/comments/hurled stones are welcome. Al Delaney
