I tend to agree at this point. I thought I was immune to this problem since I wanted native hipersockets. I have re-reported the problem to SuSE to see if a fix is available yet or a timeline. How do I go about getting the backout rpm k_deflt-2.4.21-261.s390.rpm as suggested in Joerg?s email?

It just scares me to see two entries a configuration file that look like they should conflict... but this is not the real problem. If your real devices FE04, FE05, and FE06 are part of a HiperSockets CHPID installed in your processor, then you are probably encountering the same problem Michael Lambert and others have reported with Virtual HiperSockets. During initialization, the latest network driver uses a hardware feature that might not be available on your processor/model. The following messages: > qeth: Trying to use card with devnos 0x620/0x621/0x622 > qdio : response upon setting indicators is 0x3. point to the same problem others have reported with Virtual HiperSockets on a Guest LAN. You will need to follow the advice from Joerg Reuter posted January 5, 2005 to get to the prior network device driver where HiperSockets initialization will work on your processor. I believe the new HiperSockets driver code in 2.4.21-266 must have been tested on processors that happened to have the necessary hardware feature installed. As Joerg said, they are aware of the problem and will be creating a new kernel package soon.
