First off, serious newbie alert, mainframer thrown into this world for a POC.
I'm doing an install from tape, I get to the part where I specify my CTC information and I start getting errors (logs are at the end). I believe that the hardware is ok since I went through the archives and although I couldn't find my specific situation I ran through some other suggestions of shutting down the network, rmmod ctc, insmod ctc and restarting the network. I tried to manually configure the network by doing an "ifconfig ctc0......" and at one point in the day I was able to ping successfully. All efforts to duplicate that success have failed. Here's what I'm getting: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please review your selection: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hostname : mylinux.state.wi.us Gateway IP : 198.150.235.17 Gateway Device : ctc0 Nameserver IP : 198.150.235.21 Searchlist : state.wi.us CTC options : ctc=0x600 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to use these settings?
