Hi Mark, 

Ok, the HMC is back, but my Linux system is inaccessible.  

Using the HMC Integrated Console, I was issuing the commands you requested (Man 
there's a lot of output from hwinfo!).  I am able to screen print from the HMC 
Integrated Console to a file, but it comes out in a form that is unreadable.  
Ah, well. 

And when I issued the grep command (grep . 
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw (is there a space on both sides of 
the '.', or just on the left side?)), the system accepted the command, and 
never returned.  No command prompt came back, nothing.  And you can't issue a 
Ctrl-C through the integrated console like you can through a ssh session...  

I tried a System Reset and System Load, but I am told that these are disruptive 
commands, and can only be performed when the CPC is in service mode, which I 
can't do right now.  

Any ideas how to get my penguin to talk to me?  Or am I going to have to wait 
until my next maintenance outage, and the POR? 


TIA, 
Dave

Send me the output from the following commands (off-list please):
lsmod
hwinfo
ifconfig -a
grep . /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw
ls -lR /sys/devices/qeth/

Also, what happens when you "modprobe qeth" and "dmesg | tail -n 30" ?
