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?

Re: Linux Hipersockets under z/VM






Hi,

I would not have used qeth0 twice in the same chandev.conf, but I have 
read
in this mailing list that it will work.  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.

Regards,
Dennis
