I cross posted this to IBMVM and Linux on S390.
Noticing a pause during the installation of SLES10 SP2 to a guest
configured with a VSWITCH
with VLANs. I have layer2 support set in the parm file and after IPLing
from the reader, the guest
is stuck at the MAC address prompt. Hitting the enter key moves the guest
to the name server
prompt but that is set also in the parm file. Is this normal??

We just changed the VSWITCH to add VLANs and layer2, prior to that we did
not see this
behavior with the same parm file. Here is how our VSWITCH access is
configured, should
the TCP/IP stack for VM be trunked? In the list S10SP2BD and S10SP2IT are
linux guests.
