I've tried Mark, Rich and Brad's suggestions as best I can figure out (thanks guys), but I still get pretty much the same behavior when I load this LPAR via ftp. It gets to the line "qeth: loading qeth S/390 OSA-Express driver", pauses for several seconds, then says "cat: /sys/devices/qeth/0.0.0e38/if_name: No such file or directory". If I look in that directory, the only thing present is a file named "detach_state". -Kelly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
