Michael, After you did the insmod, what, if anything, showed up in the kernel ring buffer, as shown by the dmesg command? That's the only place you're going to see any error messages.

I can insmod it successfully, but when I attempt to ifconfig the correct settings, I get: "SIOCSIFMTU: No such device ctc0: unknown interface: No such device" A cat of chandev and subchannels reveals that the ctcs are not being detected. My parmfile reads: "root=/dev/dasdb1 dasd=400-401 iucv=linuxsx root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd chandev=ct c0,0x2000,0x2001" My ifcfg-ctc0 reads: "DEVICE=ctc0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.3 NETMASK=255.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes REMIP=10.0.0.4" My modules.conf reads: "alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias iucv0 netiucv options netiucv iucv=TCPIP alias ctc0 ctc" As I said, I realize that I'm missing something, I'm just not sure what.
