I have seen a couple of problems with defining an OSA card in QDIO and I just wanted to suggest a couple of commands that maybe will help to setup the card manually:
echo 'noauto ' >/proc/chandev echo 'qeth0,0x0e30,0x0e31,0x0e32,0,0 '>/proc/chandev echo 'add_parms,0x10,0x0e30,0x0e32,portname:RPTRFET1 ' >/proc/chandev insmod qdio insmod qeth ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 up We had to do this setup when installing on an LPAR in a new z800 because of the bug with SuSE not having the correct syntax at install time. This worked for us. Hope it helps Carlos :-)
