Ok, have some results ... It seems when chandev does autosensing of the QETH cards it has a problem with the initialization. However by adding noauto to chandev for all devices other than the card I use, it initializes without a problem. Perhaps the QETH module has a problem with a lot of cards on a system, I have 13 QETH cards (Fe/GBe), 9 TR LCS cards, and 4 ESCON CTC channels on this LPAR (too much connectivity).
It now initializes, however, it hangs during shutdown. Oh well, life is not perfect.
