Larry, As Sergey pointed out, I missed the fact that your eth0 interface did _not_ activate. The fact that eth0 shows up at all means the driver is loading and finding the device. Now the question becomes why it isn't activating.
Again, for me the key to figuring things out is to do them manually so that responses to the commands are not hidden by the installation scripts. So, from your system console (HMC) try this: 1. ifconfig -a This command should show you your eth0 and lo devices. If not, the LCS module didn't load. 2. ifconfig eth0 205.213.113.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 up - This should result in no messages at all. If it does, report them back here. 3. route add default gw 205.213.113.254 netmask 0.0.0.0 - Again, this should result in no messages. 4. ping -c 3 205.213.113.254 - to see if you can reach your gateway. 5. ping -c 3 some.other.ip.addr - to see if you can get beyond your gateway.
