SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My OSA Adapter problem is solved and I have just completed my installation.
I want to thank Alan Altmark and Mark Post for their assistance in solving my problem. It turned out that my IP address I was using for my Linux virtual machine did not match the IP address assigned in the configuration of the OSA card. Once I switched to the correct device on the OSA card all worked well. Thanks again for you help. I learned a lot about OSA. Thomas L.

The ifconfig output is really strange, though: RX packets:882347 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 _Something_ is sending you lots of packets, but nothing is going the other way. Just out of curiosity, have you tried downloading the latest OCO modules for the OSA card that match your kernel level, and see if they act any differently? (I know they've opened up the source code for them, but I don't want you to have to rebuild your kernel just to poke at this problem.) Also, pinging the local IP address from Linux doesn't show anything, really. The interface doesn't even get exercised by that, so unless it _fails_, it means very little. You've tried pinging the gateway router by it's IP address? Does that change the "TX packets" numbers on the ifconfig command any? Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Geyer, Thomas L.

I hope you get to come back and bring others from Timken with you. What does your routing table look like when you're attempting the pings? For that matter, what is the IP address of your OSA, and the first router past the OSA card? Post the output from "route -n" and "ifconfig" so that we can help you out. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Geyer, Thomas L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 11:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem wit OSA/2 Adapter I attended Share last week and I followed the Linux/390 track. I want to thank all of you who presented, all presentations were excellent and very informative. Share was especially "special" since I got to spend time with an old friend, Scott Courtney. Scott you and your talents are missed and it was great seeing you again. Now to my question. Since I returned from Share I have been trying to install the Marist distribution on our VM processor. I attended the installation workshop at Share, which was fantastic, but in the workshop we used IUCV for the TCP/IP. In fact from Nashville I had started the installation and had gotten to the point of needing to ftp the Linux filesystem tar file into the Linux virtual machine, but I did not have a TCP/IP connection for my virtual machine. When I returned to work I approached our VM system programmer and he tells me I should be using the OSA Adapter. Well being a Unix Systems Administrator this was foreign to me. So I started looking for information on doing the install with the OSA adapter. I have downloaded the LCS manual and Linux/390 Installation Guide from the Marist website. I have reviewed the Linux-390 list archives and have used Alan Altmark's handouts form his "Connecting to Linux for S/390" presentation. Currently I am able to punch the kernel, parm file, and ram disk file to the reader and ipl giving me Linux with a ram disk. I respond "yes" to the network question, I select 2 for OSA Ethernet, and pass the following lcs parameters: noauto=1 devno_portno_pairs=0x5002,0 I then respond to the remaining questions as I would for any other host on the same subnet. The messages that follow all respond with a "OK". I did have an error that stated the resource was busy, that went away when I used 0x5002,0 instead of 0x5002,1. the Dedicate statement in the virtual machine definition is: DEDICATE 5002 5002 DEDICATE 5003 5003 When I try to ping the Linux virtual machine using the IP address the request times out. When I run the ifconfig command in the Linux virtual machine I see that the RX packets continue to increase while the TX packets remain very close to zero for "eth0" Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
