Hi inci, How Linux is running, Lpar mode or under zVM?
What hardware do you have? z/890? z/990? There is a known bug within the OSA card and one of the symptoms is that during installation the gateway address can't get pinged, check your OSA microcode level. See page 92 of this RedBook for more details: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246695.html Regards, Jose -----Original Message----- From: inci yeker selkan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 6:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: help needed, can not ping itself during ipl I am still struggling on my first linux ipl from tape. Fortunately I could show my OSA card to linux 390 today. But still I have network problems. During the network setup portion of the linux/390 ipl, linux can not ping its own ip address(gets unknown host), can not ping the gateway ip address(gets unknown host), pings the DNS server ip address and gets a proper reply. But since it cannot successfully ping the 3 addresses , network setup stops. It says, I cannot ping all the required interfaces, correct the problem and stops. Then, a few seconds later, I send the ping command to linux on the hmc console, it pings all the 3 addresses successfully. Did anybody have this problem? What should I do? I have the ip address of linux placed in the lan dns server, still have problem. Thanks. inci ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 [Scanned by McAfee] ----------------------------------------- Scanned by Triple-S *************************Attention************************* This electronic message, including any attachments, contains information that may be legally confidential and/or privileged.
