Mark, I took the lcs.o qeth.o and qdio.o modules out of /lib/modules/ibm and those msgs went away.
The RH init must look in that dir for additional loadables ?? The 2.4.9-37 lcs mod is being loaded out of /lib/modules/2.4.9-37tape/kernel/net/lcs.o .... I guess. The /lib/modules/2.4.9-37tape/modules.dep has two entries in it for lcs: /lib/modules/2.4.9-37tape/kernel/drivers/s390/net/lcs.o: /lib/modules/2.4.9-37tape/kernel/net/lcs.o: ...so which one is really being used?? Dave
