Chet, One word of advice. Any time you see a posting from Alan Altmark, or Romney White about some aspect of VM or VIF, pay particular attention, as they're intimately familiar with the product from the inside out. Whomever in IBM told you to use TCPIP and not $TCPIP under VIF does _not_ know what they're talking about. $TCPIP is a "special" name that is supposed to point to your master Linux image.
The problem you seem to be experiencing is that the netiucv.o module is complaining about the $TCPIP value. I stuck a "set -x" command at the beginning of the /linuxrc script on the initrd, and some echo commands just before the insmod. This is what comes out (that's relevant): + [ :iucv = :iucv ] + echo Getting ready to insmod netiucv Getting ready to insmod netiucv + echo The value of $IUCV is **iucv=$TCPIP** The value of $IUCV is **iucv=$TCPIP** + echo insmod netiucv.o iucv=$TCPIP insmod netiucv.o iucv=$TCPIP + insmod netiucv.o iucv=$TCPIP netiucv: Invalid delimiter '$' NETIUCV driver Version: 1.12 initialized + ifconfig iucv0 111.222.6.226 mtu 1492 pointopoint 111.222.128.121 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device iucv0: unknown interface: No such device Based on another whole bunch of tests I ran, it appears to be a bug in the netiucv.o module that doesn't show up when IUCV support is compiled into the kernel itself. Florian, is there any chance you could build an install kernel with IUCV support compiled in for Chet to test under VIF?

IBM says that the user name under VIF for tcpip is TCPIP. $TCPIP is only an alias, so it should find it, but it doesn't, and I can't get to the image through ping from the master image or telnet. iucv0: 'TCPIP' NETIUCV driver Version: 1.12 initialized iucv0: User TCPIP is currently not available. --- "Post, Mark K" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chet, > > Are you using rhsetup, or loader to start the installation? > > Mark ===== Chet Norris Marriott International,Inc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
