hello, I've got a problem with the lcs: I have tried all of this with the install-images from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/s390 and ftp.redhat.de/pub/s390 because I found they have a different byte-size and date. I've also tried different IBM-oco-modules lcs-2.4.7-s390-1.o lcs-2.4.7-s390-2.o lcs-2.4.7-s390-timer-2.o and inserted them into the ramdisk as described. I've a ctc-connection defined 0x0a00 and 0x0a01 which comes up properly with the netsetup-script when I add "chandev=ctc0, 0x0a00,0x0a01" to the parmfile. so I tried the same with the osa-connection (0x010e,0x010f - OSA2 port 0) but "chandev=lcs0,0x010e,0x010f" doesn't work. I tried to add this manually after startup with echo ' lcs0,0x010e,0x010f' >> /etc/chandev.conf echo read_conf > /proc/chandev as described in a mail from the marist-mailinglist for the qeth-device. insmod -f /lib/lcs<xxx>.o ifconfig eth0 <andsoon> up gives: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device I also tried it with insmod -f /lib/lcs<xxx>.o devno_portno_pairs=0x010e,0 but cat /proc/modules never shows the lcs-module. cat /proc/chandev shows: ----------------------------------- [snip] channels detected chan cu cu dev dev in chandev irq devno type type model type model pim chpids use reg. =============================================================================== 0x0008 0x010e 0x04 0x3088 0x60 0x0000 0x00 0x80 0x94ffffffffffffff no no 0x0009 0x010f 0x04 0x3088 0x60 0x0000 0x00 0x80 0x94ffffffffffffff no no 0x000d 0x0a00 0x05 0x3088 0x08 0x0000 0x00 0x80 0xff00000000000000 no no 0x000e 0x0a01 0x05 0x3088 0x08 0x0000 0x00 0x80 0xff00000000000000 no no ------------------------------------- so both (ctc and osa) seem to be detected. If I tried to load the ctc-module without the parmfile-options but with the /etc/chandev.conf-way it fails too. I don't know what I could try next. Any hints?! Thanks.
