Yes, we just converted our vswitch to layer2 and then encountered the
problem you describe.
The OSAHWaddr is key to the parm file, but the value it's set to doesn't
matter. Along with
that here is what I have in my autoinstall file:
<module_entry>
<ccw_chan_ids>0.0.f003 0.0.f004 0.0.f005</ccw_chan_ids>
<ccw_chan_mode>dontcare</ccw_chan_mode>
<ccw_chan_num>3</ccw_chan_num>
<device>qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.f003</device>
<module>qeth</module>
<qeth_layer2_support>1</qeth_layer2_support>
</module_entry>
Apparently there is something amiss in the install, when I run through a
manual install and
choose layer2 the resultant xml content looks like this...
<options>QETH_LAYER2_SUPPORT='1'</options>
Which results in the following hardware configuration which is in fact
incorrect
xg1dibld:~ # grep LAYER2
/etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.f003
MODULE_OPTIONS='QETH_LAYER2_SUPPORT=1'
