Ok, great!

Could you check if there's an alias for eth0 in /etc/modutils/arch/s390?
If so, please remove this line and check that there's the correct line
alias eth0 lcs
in /etc/modutils/lcs. Then run update-modules as root and it should work
in the next reboot.

You can also use "ifup eth0" instead of the ifconfig and route commands
if the eth0 configuration in /etc/network/interfaces is correct.
BTW, some people are having problems with the MTU sizes on Ethernet,
especially on a MP 3000. If you need to change your MTU size to e.g. 1492
you can do so easily in /etc/network/interfaces like this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
up ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492
