Jammie,

Others have given you some good advice on what you need to do regarding the
chandev layer, etc.  My concern is that you haven't done the prep work of
downloading the LCS module from the IBM web site, and copying it to the
initrd file before IPLing your installation files.  (Hence the "no lcs
module found" message.)  Have you?

As far as SuSE SLES 7.2, goes, apparently you've missed much of the
discussion on that topic over the last month or so.  You can obtain SuSE 7.2
on CD for free for a trial, but for production work, SuSE is requiring that
you purchase a support contract from them.  To get the trial CDs, contact
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  If you want to check out their beta code, it can be
downloaded from ftp://nozzle.suse.de/pub/suse/s390/sles7-beta/31-bit/

Subject: RH 7.2 install - lcs issue


I am trying to install RH 7.2. I have an OSA Ethernet and when it asks
for the I/O communications, I tell it lcs0,0x202,1.
I get:
error: no lcs module found
SIOCSIFADDR: no such device
man chandev

My HOST=<name>:eth0:<IP>:1500
I have tried eth0,0x202,1
then, eth0,0x202,0x203.
I've done the same except for using lcs0 and still get the same results.

Note: I did install SuSE 7.0 earlier and had few problems but none with
the OSA. I would prefer to stay with SuSE (easier to install) but want
the 2.4 kernel. How do I upgrade my current SuSE? Where do I find it?
I've gone to the SuSE ftp site and they still have the 7.0 2.2.16
kernel. Therefore I'm after RH 7.2.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
