Adam, Mark Post and Jochen - thank you for your replies. For my unsuccesful attempts I used a ".ins" file created by myself and I didn't know that the filenames might not be too long. When I used the original ".ins" file from the Debian CD and changed the filenames according to it, the installation went smoothly until the first IPL. After the IPL I get a message from modprobe: "can't locate module eth0". I am using OSA-2.
Is it so because I didn't load the oco.bin file ? I tried to find it on the net but it was nowhere to be found.My distribution doesn't have it either... I installed the base system over the network (through FTP) without any problems. My parmfile doesn't contain any network parameters since I wanted to enter them manually.Why did it work for the base installation and why did it not work after the IPL ? Can anyone help, please?
