Re: Subject: Unable to Ping the Network

[Rivers, James E.]

I have IPL'd LINUX from tape on S390: I can ping the IP address of the host but I 
can't ping the network (or outside the host).  What could be the problem?

Also, you commented that Rob's recipe for writing the IPL files to disk was
based on the premise of having OS/390 available.  I'm pretty sure that VM
has the equivalent of ICKDSF available, so the method should be adaptable to
that environment.  (Of course, I don't think Rob or I ever thought it would
be necessary under VM.)

Oh, deity forbid... obviously I used that to develop the stuff but
the process with ICKDSF on VM was painful to do. I misunderstood the
environment.

The logging shows no ramdisk recognized. Either the ramdisk was
corrupted during download or maybe the wrong kernel is being used
(though I think the 0003 FILES CHANGED is only when you have the
the RDR IPL configured in I think).
