Daniel,

Since you're using a 2.4 system, you have to set up the chandev stuff, and
_then_ insmod the DASD driver.  Or, do a
echo -n "add device range=6B40-6B43 ">>/proc/dasd/devices
and that should work also.  Note the trailing blank on the echo command.  It
is significant.

Subject: Re: upgraded rh 7.2 kernel, lost ctc connection (no network
connectivity)


My /etc/chandev.conf was

ctc0,0x1370,0x1371

So I did an echo "ctc0,0x1370,0x1371,3" > /etc/chandev.conf
shutdown -r now... it comes back up still using proto: 0 :(.
cat /etc/chandev.conf confirmed that the ",3" really was there
I doubted it would do any different, but I shutdown -h now then reIPLed
the LPAR, still proto 0 (still all the same errors).
Any ideas why it's not picking up my change?  locate chandev.conf found
nothing else, and I looked in various other places where I might have
specified ctc0,0x1370,0x1371 but couldn't find anything


Mark's idea was what I was trying first, IPL from the install tape to
get the network connectivity, mount root on /mnt, chroot to mount, then
mount the other dasd devices and "upgrade" to the older rpm's that I
could ftp to the system.

#insmod dasd dasd=6B40-6B43
#mount /dev/dasda1 /mnt
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
#mount -t ext2 /dev/dasda1 /mnt
mount special device /dev/dasda1 does not exist

ls /dev/dasd* turned up nothing

I remember reading something else earlier so I tried:
echo "add device range=6b40-6b43 ">>/proc/dasd/devices
It told me they were already there
echo "set device range=6b40-6b43 on">>/proc/dasd/devices
said they were set on

still no dasd anything in /dev/

Ideas?  Thanks,
~ Daniel
