I am facing the same problem and I was not able to determine the reason.
But i solved this issue by copying the right file during autoyast stage2 from autoyast.xml <file> <file_contents><![CDATA[STARTMODE='auto' MODULE='qeth' MODULE_OPTIONS='' MODULE_UNLOAD='yes' SCRIPTUP='hwup-ccw' SCRIPTUP_ccw='hwup-ccw' SCRIPTUP_ccwgroup='hwup-qeth' SCRIPTDOWN='hwdown-ccw' CCW_CHAN_IDS='0.0.a000 0.0.a001 0.0.a002' CCW_CHAN_NUM='3' CCW_CHAN_MODE='' QETH_LAYER2_SUPPORT='1' LCS_LANCMD_TIMEOUT='' QETH_IPA_TAKEOVER='0' QETH_OPTIONS='' ]]></file_contents> <file_owner>root</file_owner> <file_path>/etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a000</file_path> <file_permissions>644</file_permissions> </file> I think the the whole layer2 thing is not well implemented in SLES10. And i checked my SLES10 SP2 docs: OSAHWaddr in not mentioned.
