I experienced the same problem on an MP3000 in an lpar. I installed via
FTP just fine. The problem occurred when I tried to boot the new linux
for the first time. The problem that I had and verified by IBM is that
the LCS driver is broken in lpar mode. This was not a problem under VM
however. I notified Suse in December of 2004 and IBM in January of 2005.
I am still waiting for a fix.

Good luck
Zoltan

Mike,
We are having the same problem. SuSE support has been unable to figure
it out and we have a ticket open with IBM. They didn't have a Flex
system so they are setting one up now though it may be a couple of weeks
before they get back to us. The problem we experienced was that after
the IPL from disk SuSE seemed to have lost track of the NIC. We tried
using SMB and NFS for the first part of the install and that seemed to
go fine until the reboot.
