While installing my own Gentoo instance here, I found that the settings stored in /etc/ccwgroup.conf were not read at system startup. I had to manually echo the correct values into the /sys filesystem to initialize my hipersockets interface. Here are the commands I used:
echo "0.0.0770,0.0.0771,0.0.0772">/sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/group echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0770/online Of course, you will have to amend these to reflect your environment / device type. After I issued these commands, I was able to bring my interface up. If this doesn't fix your problem, or if you run into a different issue, come to #gentoo-zseries on irc.freenode.net for help. OT, how did you install your Gentoo system? Manual kernel compilation is a fact of life in Gentoo, and, as far as I know, you couldn't have IPL'd your Gentoo system without first compiling a kernel, as there is no precompiled binary kernel.
