OK, I've looked at previous posts on this topic but can't put this
together so that it works.

There is no problem when I use SuSE 7.0, I simply specify the
control-read,write and data options with the portname option during the
initial ramdisk install and hey presto it works:
noauto,0xEE00,0xEE01,0xEE02,portname:OSA1,eth0

SLES initial ramdisk install looks like it should be simple: read,write
and control prompt: 0xEE00,0xEE01,0xEE02
Is service level above xxxx: yes
Specify portname: OSA1

==> "qeth received an IDX TERMINATE on irq 0x8F2/0x8F3 with cause code
0x22 try another portname"

So after choosing "no network".

Looking a /proc/chandev I see that 0x8F2 is the "irq" associated with
0xEE00, ditto for 0x8F3 and 0xEE01.

I believe that /etc/chandev should end-up being set to:

add_parms,0x10,0xEE00,0xEE02,portname:OSA1
qeth0,0xEE00,0xEE01,0xEE02

and modules.conf should have an entry:

alias eth0 qeth

What I don't know is how to manually concoct an "insmod qeth" command so
as to get this working. Anyone care to volunteer the missing piece of
the puzzel?

TIA
