Berthold,


Yes 991 is what we accessed the 191 as. Here is what the CONF file looks like. 
I replaced some IPs and DNS for XX's for security sake. Btw it not getting to 
the CONF file before it fails.



HOSTNAME="dmapsm01.ba.ssa.gov"

DASD="700,200-209,210-217,902-903"

NETTYPE="qeth"

IPADDR="10.0.XX.X"

SUBCHANNELS="0.0.f000,0.0.f001,0.0.f002"

NETMASK="255.255.255.0"

SEARCHDNS="sh83103.XXX.XXX"

GATEWAY="10.0.XX.XX"

DNS="10.24.XX.XXX"

MTU="1500"

LAYER2="1"

VSWITCH="1"

I guess this is intentional 991 instead of 191... Could you please also quote 
the RHEL65.CONF file from your 991 disk?
