Hi John, It's just a guess, but have you tried using lower case alpha's in your hex addresses, i.e.:
noauto,0xEE00,0xEE01,0xEE02,portname:OSA1,eth0 becomes noauto,0xee00,0xee01,0xee02,portname:osa1,eth0 I frequently find that nothing in upper case works in Linux (but that's not always true, and it may be that the hex addresses need to be lower while 'osa' needs to be 'OSA').

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]
