Ila, Are you using an OSA card (of some type?) If so, there is some documentation on what _you_ need to do to make sure that the IBM OCO modules are in the proper place for your system to find them once installation is complete. Even though the LCS and QETH modules have been open sourced, the GA Red Hat distribution does not include them. That will probably happen when Florian gets his update ready, but it has not yet. Check the linuxvm.org web site for pointers to the doc.
Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Miller, Ila [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 4:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RedHat 7.2 SIOCSIFADDR NO SUCH DEVICE ETH0 Hello, I am trying to bring up RedHat Linux 7.2 in an s390 partition. I have brought up Suse successfully, but I would like to use RedHat. I am having problems with RedHat. I get to the end of the first phase installation successfully and then execute the rhsetup command. The installation process begins and I see the packages added as they are installed. I have installed both the default packages and all packages and have the same problem. I get an error message about the boot record not being written. I am then ask for a password. I can enter a password successfully. I then mount /dev/dasda1 and /dev/dasdb1. I edit the zipl.conf file to change /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-17-tape to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-17tape and rerun zipl which appears to complete successfully. I re-IPL and I can logon as root to RedHat Linux at the HMC. When I try to ping myself or telnet to the RedHat Linux system, I get the error NETWORK IS UNREACHABLE. If I execute the ifconfig command I see an lo entry but not an eth0 entry. If I execute the command ifconfig eth0 informm11 broadcast 129.255.114.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 I get the response SIOCSIFADDR no such device eth0: unknown interface no such device SIOCSBRDADDR no such device eth0: unknown interface no such device SIOCSIFNETMASK no such device. It appears there is something wrong but I don't know what it is. I can successfully telnet to the linux system that is created from the installation tape and I thought the installation used the values that were given to the initial installation linux system. I did not specify the parameters in inst.parm/lpar.parm, I just replied to the questions asked by the setup script. Does the rhsetup process get confused when the questions were answered in the setup script and not put in the inst.parm/lpar.parm? Any ideas on what might be wrong would be appreciated. Ila Z.
