I have downloaded the oco modules from IBM website from the link that you gave me and the mkinitrd2.sh script from the other link. I copied the qdio and qeth modules to the same directory as the mkinitrd2.sh and then executed the script. The debian s/390 install manual doesn't cover this at all they only mention that you may need to create second initrd. Here is what I get when kicking of the script. Also thanks a bunch for helping me debian on s/390 is a different animal.
