The system-config-network tool doesn't really work on System z Linux. It's works great on x86 but when I last checked it had no idea how to handle the various types of networking devices available on s390/s390x. Post-install you usually need to do exactly what you did to add new network devices - echo things to /sys and then create an ifcfg file.
A few things that come to mind: * Did you add the 'alias hsi0 qeth' line to /etc/modprobe.conf before rebooting? * If you rename the ifcfg-hsi0 file to ifcfg-hsi0.bak and reboot/restart networking, does everything else come up correctly? If not, it would suggest that some of the other ifcfg-* files were munged or that your ifcfg-hsi0 has conflicting settings. * Try removing the HWADDR=00:00:00:00 line from the ifcfg-hsi0 file and rebooting. If it comes up fine and you really want the hardware address specified in there, run `ifconfig hsi0` and use the specific MAC address. ks On 5/22/07, Fuhrmann Anna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, This (how to add a network device) is described here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/s390-multi-i nstall-guide/s1-s390info-addnetdevice.html and this is how I created a hsi0 hipersocket device. Now the problem is: I noticed at rebooting that the following happens (excerpt from log): " May 16 05:20:34 dinotest network: Bringing up interface eth0: succeeded May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup: cannot change name of lo to hsi0: Device or resource busy May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup: May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup: cannot change name of lo to dev20571: Device or resource busy May 16 05:28:31 dinotest sag1argev: 5:28:31 (23819) May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup: cannot parse MAC ` lo May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: hsi0 hsi0 dev16279' at argument 2 May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev20366' not found May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev18583' not found May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev14319' not found May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev17517' not found ... " and so on, almost indefinitely ("device 'devxxxxx" not found')... booting lasts a while, is then ready, and hsi0 is not active of course. I consulted red hat support, they told me I should use the tool system-network-config instead of editing manually. However, the command seems to be able to import and export some (config?) files, but what else? How to define a new device with it? I can't find any description of the tool. Anyone having an idea what I should do? Why not edit manually and if not, how? I am helplessly confused. My ifcfg-hsi0 looks like this: DEVICE=hsi0 HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.60.5 NETMASK=255.255.255.192 NETTYPE=qeth ONBOOT=yes SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0a0b,0.0.0a0c,0.0.0a0d TYPE=Ethernet thanks and regards Anna
