I am trying to IPL RHEL 3 Update 9 on a LPAR with one IFL, 3GB storage, 4*
3390-3 DASD, OSA-Express card(one port - not shared with other LPARS).
This is what I am getting during the HMC install:
The first prompt is for the "kind of network device" I intend to use: (ctc,
escon, icuv, eth, his, tr)
I reply "eth0" here.
Then I reply to the qeth,addr1,addr2,addr3,0,0
It asks for the add_parms (and does not like it when I bypass it), so I reply
it:
add_parms,0x10,addr1,addr3,portname:OSA3F00
Enter IP address of Linux quest
xxx.yyy.zzz.ppp
Enter network address of the new Linux quest
xxx.yyy.zzz.ppp
Enter the IP of your ctc/escon/iucv point-to-point partner:
??????????????????????????
It does not like if I just press enter - it needs something here.
Now, as you noticed, I specified eth0 , when the expected entries were
ctc,escon,icuv,eth
When I try it with "eth" (and not "eth0" like before), it gets further and ask
the rest of the network parms, but it breaks with these messages:
/tmp/qeth.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

I still cannot ping the network address.
So, I am not sure what is going on.
When I reply "eth", it responds that it cannot find the eth0 device and when I
reply "eth0" it needs a point-to-point IP address.
What is the problem here, any ideas?
