Mark,

the information sent so far derive from a cloned production
linux machine, connected via vmlan, where I tried to add
a 2nd (the 3172) interface. Reason for this: Its my highest
system level (SLES7 GA plus Oct 02 recommended updates
per YOU). T tried this level when my SLES7 GA level came up
with this error. But I have that GA level 1st install console log
available and partly included.

Ok, now we can set up the network configuration.
