Jim, Here's what you said: "...the same setup I use successfully for SuSE on another MP3000 system, which is LCS3172 address pair..." LCS=Lan Channel Station=OSA. Your PC ethernet card is being emulated as an OSA card to your MP3K. SuSE includes the IBM OCO modules, so that's why you didn't have a problem with that distribution. Red Hat and IBM claim that if you follow the directions to include the modules yourself, that it will work. If you get it to work, I ask that you report that to the mailing list, as it will be the first public report of such a success with Red Hat and their later kernels. The URL you want is this: http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/special_oco _rh_2.4.shtml Watch out for the mailing list server chopping that up; it's pretty long. You can get to there from here: http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/index.shtml
Your dialog responses looked reasonable, but since I don't have access to a system with an OSA card (real or emulated) I haven't been able to play around with the installation script to determine just what works and what doesn't. Still, if you have problems, I'm willing to work with you to try to figure them out.

Are you sure about that? I didn't need to add anything for SuSE 7.0, SLES1 and SLES7 to work. Is there a URL to get the IBM OCO modules? If I added the OCO modules, would my dialogue responses then be correct?

You'll have to download the appropriate level yourself (2.4.9), and follow the instructions Red Hat provides to include them in your initial ram disk for the install. You'll also have to make sure that the module(s) get copied to your target system so they'll be there for the "real" IPL. Since the Red Hat distribution has gone GA, I would recommend downloading the files for that which are different from the RC2 version, and using the GA code. There shouldn't be a huge difference, but why not be current?
