How many CTCs do you have GENed? It used to be that Linux only kept track of the first 64 devices of a given type. I used to get similar messages due to excessive CTC addresses. After configing off all the unnecessary lower CTCs, I could then get to the ones that were 'really' useful. Don't know if there is still a 64 device limit or not, however.
Good luck, Paul
======================================================================= I've been trying to get my network connected to my LINUX Lpar through a = CTC connection. I think I have everything defined correctly. I did the = IOCDS change last week, and put a couple of definitions in my MVS TCPIP = Profile. I hooked up an Escon cable between 2 chpids. When I IPL Linux, = I get the following error messages:
ctc0: unknown interface; No such device SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device ctc0: unknown interface; No such device
I put most of the answers to the networking questions in my PARM.LINE = file. I still get one question that asks:
Please enter the parameters you need to pass to the channel device layer: = and then has an example. I reply:
"ctc0,0D00,0D01"
What is going wrong? I've tried several different combinations, and = always get the 3 messages above. I can send the things I've changed if = that is necessary. I'll be out in the computer room and away from my PC = trying this again. I will check for replies before I go home. I have to = be somewhere, so I can't stay very late. I'll be here till 4:45 Central = time. Otherwise, I'll reply in the morning. Thanks in advance. =20
