Hi... The following response:
qeth: Trying to use card with devnos 0x504/0x505/0x503 qeth: received an IDX TERMINATE on irq 0x8/0x9 with cause code 0x04 qeth: IDX_ACTIVATE on read channel irq 0x8: negative reply qeth: There were problems in hard-setting up the card. indicates (cause code 0x04) that the read/write device assignments are backwards. Normally you can use the even-odd rule for read and write devices, but since this NIC is defined to begin on an odd device address, the even offset is on the odd device. You can avoid this activation problem by EITHER using an even number on the SPECIAL statement, OR listing your devices as 0x503,0x504,0x505 in chandev.conf. Sometimes, when switching from HiperSockets to QDIO type, people forget to switch the DEFINE LAN, but it looks like your NIC at 500 came up ok, so that's probably not a problem. For the system to abend (whether it was caused by QUERY NIC, or just a coincidence) you should contact IBM and open a problem report (as Adam suggested) and send in the dump.
