Thanks Adam, I'll try both. This is just to keep me busy and out of trouble. Oh yea, some self training also.

I am trying to install the Debian linux/390 distro on an LPAR and I am having a problem when I boot the first time from disk. It is telling me the following:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module eth0 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
This is my first time with Debian and can not figure out were I went wrong. Anyone have any suggestions?
You're installing Woody (3.0), right? You have an OSA, right?
Woody doesn't include the (at the time of release) OCO modules for 2.4.17 for the installation kernel.
However, the Woody installer *does* recognize a second file, called INITRD2, packed with all the OCOs you want. We do that (in a virtual card deck) for our distro. Basically you create a lib/modules/.... directory tree in an ext2 filesystem, write that to an image file, block that file to 1k, and write it to the tape after initrd.
Or, just install Sarge, which will be a whole lot easier.
