Thanks Alan,  Unfortunately I can't get to that place just yet. Good
information though, I have been getting away with starting hsi1 on an odd
number for over a year in vm4.3 so I guess I missed that detail. I'll clean
up that little mess today and see what happens.

Real OSAs changed at some point to allow any address to be used.  However,
z/VM's virtual OSA still adheres to the old restriction, so, yes, the first
address must be *even* on a Guest LAN or VSWITCH.

And, Steve, the q nic details is only interesting after you have tried to
start the device but while Linux is still up.  I.e. #cp q nic details.
