Something just occurred to me..  Layer 2 support was added to RHEL 4 U3
and later (kernel 2.6.9-34).  Also, ibm.com states:

* Layer 2 support requires IBM zSeries 990 or 890, or IBM System z9.
When running a Linux guest under VM, you need z/VM 5.1 with Layer 2
support in PTF for APAR VM63538 or later z/VM.


Are you using at least these versions of RHEL + z/VM?
