We run a number of Linux servers using OSA adapters and recently ran into a problem with one server. At boot time the following messages are displayed:
------------- Enabling syn flood protection done Disabling IP forwarding done INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 Master Resource Control: previous runlevel: N, switching to runlevel: 2 Setting up network device eth0 loading QDIO base support loading qeth S/390 Gigabit Ethernet driver Trying to use card with devnos 0xB04/0xB05/0xB06 Device 0xB04/0xB05/0xB06 is an OSA-Express Gigabit Ethernet card and will be registered as eth0. qeth: Not enough kernel memory for operation. QDIO base support: module removed insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.16/net/qeth.o: init_module: Device or resource busy insmod: Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.16/net/qeth.o: insmod eth0 failed SIOCSIFADDR: No such device ------------- This server has 384M virtual memory so I doubt that that's the problem. This particular server has many more virtual disks than our other Linux servers using OSAs. But that's largely the only difference I know of. Is there something I should be modifying in the kernel itself to reserve more storage for the QDIO driver? This is SuSE 2.2.16 kernel. William P.
