Hi Roger, your boot.messages do not show any message refering to 0.0.7000 or hsi0. Your hsi0-device is in state SOFTSETUP, which means it has been activated successfully; just the ifup step fails. The configuration file for ifup is /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-hsi0. Can you check the definitions of this file?
By the way, you have chosen layer2=1 for your hsi0-device. This is ok, but it allows communication to other layer2 HiperSockets participants only, no layer3 HiperSockets participants.
