We also experienced the same behavior on our Red Hat images until we
upgraded the kernel to > 2.4.21 (for RH 7.2, you'll have to roll your
own kernel). The guestlan problems that we were experiencing were also
exacerbated by a kernel bug, although I can't recall the details of it.
For temporary relief of the ADP symptom, stop the network, remove the
qeth and qdio modules and then restart the network (service network
stop; rmmod qdio qeth; service network start). This will only provide
short term help, however. The long term solution could involve
generating your own kernel, but that is not always a simple task given
the age of the software that constitutes RH 7.2. It's probably simpler
to switch to a distro that is still maintained. If cost is a problem,
Debian is freely available.
