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 -- John P Taylor Linux & VM Systems Support Hursley IT Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
