Greetings all, I am running z/VM 5.4 on an 2094 IFL and I am trying to install SLES10 SP1 of SUSE Linux. I am using a virtual switch for the network connection. The VM userid I am trying to install from is XG1DTECH here is a coy of the SLES10 PARM: ramdisk_size=10016 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb HostIP=10.101.240.211 Hostname=xg1dtech.prci.com Gateway=10.101.240.1 Netmask=255.255.255.0 Broadcast=10.101.240.255 Layer2=0 ReadChannel=0.0.f003 WriteChannel=0.0.f004 DataChannel=0.0.f005 Nameserver=10.51.122.100 Portname=dontcare Install=nfs://10.19.9.53/nfs/Linux/Suse/sles10sp1 UseVNC=1 VNCPassword=xxxxxxxx InstNetDev=osa OsaInterface=qdio OsaMedium=eth Manual=0
Here is a partial console listing of what happens during the install: qeth: Device 0.0.f003/0.0.f004/0.0.f005 is a Guest LAN QDIO card (level:V40) with link type GuestLAN QDIO (portname: dontcare) qeth: Hardware IP fragmentation not supported on eth0 qeth: VLAN enabled qeth: Multicast enabled qeth: IPV6 enabled qeth: Broadcast enabled qeth: Using SW checksumming on eth0. qeth: Outbound TSO not supported on eth0 sit0: Disabled Privacy Extensions Up until the last qeth: message I can ping the guest but then I receive the sit0: message and I lose connection and the ping fails, and of course so does the installation. I have opened a PMR with IBM and I am in the process of obtaining SP2 to see if the issue is with SP1. I have a VM TCPIP stack and another Linux guest using the virtual switch without a problem. I also have a second Linux guest that will not see the F003-F005 addresses at Linux IPL time, but I DET NIC F003 and then issue a DEF NIC F003 and the Linux guest sees and recognizes the NIC and Linux goes on its merry way with the network. The guests that are working were guests restored from a previous installation under VM 5.3. I do not see any errors on the vswitch1 controller console nor in the operlog. IBM had me run some traces and detemined that traffic is being send to the guest but no responses are coming back, no dropped packets, no errors simply no responses. If SP2 does not work I will be contacting SUSE Linux support. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Jihad K.
