If the driver had detected anything, you would have seen a whole lot more than 
that.  This is what I get for my virtual HiperSocket LAN NIC:
qeth: Device 0.0.4000/0.0.4001/0.0.4002 is a Guest LAN Hiper card (level: V524)
with link type GuestLAN Hiper (no portname needed by interface).
qeth: set adapter parameters not supported on device 0.0.4000.
qeth: Hardware IP fragmentation not supported on hsi0
qeth: VLAN enabled
qeth: Multicast enabled
qeth: IPv6 not supported on hsi0
qeth: Broadcast enabled
qeth: Using SW checksumming on hsi0.
qeth: Outbound TSO not supported on hsi0

If you can, I would try re-IPLing the starter system, and not letting the 
script do any network setup.  Then, do a modprobe qdio and modprobe qeth (or 
whatever you have to do to get the modules loaded, I'm not familiar with the 
CentOS 4.4 kernel module layout).  Without any parameters, the driver should 
auto-detect _all_ QDIO capable devices.  If it doesn't find any, you probably 
don't have any defined for that LPAR.  Again, dmesg will show you what, if 
anything, the driver finds.
