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? > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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 -- Brad Hinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Account Manager Red Hat, Inc.
