You can restart the install by re-executing /linuxrc. In the meantime, I'll create a new initrd that has a 5 second sleep command in it, to see if that helps. I'll let you know where you can download it from for testing.
Another thing to try might be putting an "ipldelay=3m" in the kernel parmfile. That was used in the very early days to allow an LCS device to "settle" after IPLing an LPAR.

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
