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.
