If you want to avoid re-installing, we'll need diagnostic information. Do the qeth and qdio kernel modules load successfully? (lsmod) Do they create an interface? (ifconfig -a) If not, what shows up in the kernel ring buffer? (dmesg)

Unfortunately for me, one or more of the RPMs I nuked were necessary for the network configuration (qeth). The golden image boots, but cannot connect to the network. Luckily, we had already setup our controller per the book, and I can copy any RPM from the source tree (/nfs) to the golden image (/sles9golden), reboot the golden image, and re-install the rpm. I've already done this for the vlan RPM, but the golden image still will not come up on the network. Short of listing every RPM I purged, can anyone out there tell me what RPMs are necessary for qeth to run? Or is there further configuration I need to do on my golden image? (Oh boy, a chance to work on my ed(1) skills! :-) ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
