So if you want to get a running Debian/390 with working qeth-support you
should do the following:
1. Get the latest Debian/390 kernel image package from
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.17-s390/kernel-image-2.4.17-s390_2.4.17-2.1_s390.deb
This is the kernel image that gets installed on your system when you
install Debian/390 from scratch.
2. Install the kernel image package (if /lib/modules/2.4.17 exists,
remove it or rename it to /lib/modules/2.4.17.old before installing the
package):
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.17-s390_2.4.17-2.1_s390.deb
3. Get the following module tarballs from the IBM Developerworks web site
(http://oss.software.ibm.com/linux390/current2_4_17.shtml#oco-feb182002-31-exp):
qdio-2.4.17-s390-1.tar.gz
qeth-2.4.17-s390-1.tar.gz
Note that these are not the latest modules - however these modules
work and don't have the netdev_fastroute-problem.
4. Rename the modules contained in the tarballs to qdio.o and qeth.o
respectively and copy them to /lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/drivers/s390.
Don't forget chown-ing them to root:root since otherwise you'll get
problems when trying to load them.
5. Reboot your system.
Hope this helps.
