I've been trying to install Linux and use an OSA/Express set up in non QDIO mode. When attempting to configure SLES 8 to use it with the OSA Ethernet selection on the initial communications configuration menu, I get the following:
Starting LCS module $Revision: 1.132 $ $Date: 2002/04/30 19:13:38 $ with chandev support, with multicast support, with ethernet support, with token ring support. debug: lcs: new level 0 A partially successful startup read_devno=2000 write_devno=2001 was detected rc=-5 please check your configuration parameters, cables & connection to the network. No lcs capable cards found Terminating lcs module. This site tried using the Marist distribution and specified the ipldelay parameter and it would also not recognize the card. We also tried Thinkblue. They all failed with similar messages. This site is prepared to change this card to use OSA Express, but they would like to try to understand why the LCS driver isn't working (as would I). Any thoughts appreciated, thanks. -- Rich Smrcina Sr. Systems Engineer DSG eServer & Linux Solutions Milwaukee, WI rsmrcina at wi.rr.com rsmrcina at dsgroup.com Catch the WAVV!
