Albert, I'll echo here what I said to Greg Smith in the Linux-390 mailing list: - - - - - Make sure that the device is being detected during IPL. You should see something like this: Detected device 2928 on subchannel 0000 -PIM =80,PAM =80,POM =FF but with f830, etc. Also, I'll tell you what I tell everyone... Since the scripts hide any error messages that come back from the "insmod -f" command, try issuing it yourself manually. In your case that would be: insmod -f lcs-2.4.7-s390-2.o devno_portno_pairs=0xf830,2 - - - - - Substitute your values for the module name and device number, and report back what you see.

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.
