That worked - the error msg. went away, and it shaved about 20 seconds off the boot time. This was a new clone of SLES11sp1. So the file must have been created by yast or something else I did while trying to fix the problem. Since you're paying taxes in Germany, I suppose you're doing your par

Roger, good news. I am working in the networking team of Linux on System z development; thus qeth-related problems are my daily business. But please do not ask me financial questions ;-) For your remaining problem: Have you upgraded your system from SLES10? In this case you may still have old con

Thank you, Ursula That solved the problem. I can now ping and ftp between my layer3 hipersockets. I still get the "Waiting for mandatory devices. hsi-bus-ccw-0.0.7000 No interface found " msg. when booting but now that it works, I'll just stop watching. You're pretty amazing. Thin

Roger, when configuring a network interface with yast, a udev-rule is created for the device containing qeth attribute definitions, among them attribute layer2. Look into /etc/udev/rules.d and check a rule starting with 51-...7000... . I assume this rule contains a line with layer2=1. Change this

Roger, get rid of the LLADDR='00:00:00:00:00:00' definition. ifup does no longer work for a zero MAC-address. HiperSockets define a MAC-address; during initialization Linux determines this MAC-address and uses it, if LLADDR is not defined. Ursula On Tue, 2011-11-08 at 10:47 +0100, Roger Evans wr

THanks for that tip. I can't remember having chosen level2, but I see that my other (older) interfaces are not level2, so, yes, I would like to switch to level3. I used the commands (from "Device Drivers, Features...") to to take the device offline and to make it not level2 (level2=9); After t

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 o

Roger, the minimum SLES11 SP1 kernel level should be 2.6.32.29-0.3.1. If you still have problems with a kernel level greater or equal to this one, something else is wrong. Which qeth-related messages show up in dmesg? What does "lsqeth" return? Regards, Ursula Braun, IBM Germany On Mon, 2011-11-

Thank you Ursula I don't seem to have the permissions to read those bugzilla entries, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong Novell Bugzilla. Upgrading from sp3 to sp4 solved the problem for SLES10. I upgraded my SLES11sp1 with all the upgrades SuSE provides, but still get the following msg: -
