I may know this one - we have seen it here in POK. If it's the same issue
it is always during a SLES install and it is preceeded by the message:

HCPIPN2833E IP address is already registered.

The guys who dug into this believe there may be a bug in the OSA card and
we still don't have a fix.  It may have to do with a race condition and
thus is intermittent.

The way we work around it is to keep trying.  Set up a PARMFILE with all
the appropriate networking variables set, if you don't have one already
(it will save you a lot of typing). When you hit the error, just do a "#CP
IPL 00C" to IPL the reader and start over. I usually get past it on the
second or third try.

Not a great answer I know, but perhaps it will help.
