Hi,
  I am experiencing a problem when installing RedHat Linux 7.2 in VM. I am 
trying to initialize a GigEthernet OSA card. I followed all procedures as far 
as linking the IBM OCO modules with the RedHat distribution. Also, all 
microcode and VM maintenance should be up to date.
A few months ago I had attempted the same thing with an ATM OSA with no luck.
Any idea what could be the problem? What other debugging can be done?

Thanks,

Here's the error I'm getting:
