I am installing a new Linux LPar using redhat 7.2 Enigma with 2.4.9-38 kernel. The system successfully IPL's but I cannot load the lcs driver. After the IPL I try to activate eth0 and I see message "no lcs capable cards found". When I try "insmod lcs" or "insmod -f /lib/modules...../lcs" I receive the error "incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters" and syslog shows "no lcs cap.." again. When I try "insmod -v lcs" I receive the same error.
Can someone shed some light on this? I have tried/verified the following: verified this OSA works with marist linux LPAR running 2.2.19 kernel. tried ipldelay=5m with no success. verified the OSA is available to the LPAR in OAT table. verified the OSA is shared and available to the LPAR in HCD/IOGEN. verified I am running redhat OCO drivers for 2.4.9-38 I am also including the contents of several key files. Thanks in advance and I apologize for the verbose message.
