... For Info ....
I had to add a file such as this to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d :
ctc0 :
**********
#!/bin/sh
exec > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "0.0.0400,0.0.0401" > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/ctc/group
echo "1" > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices/0.0.0400/online
**********
(it's a dual CTC link at CCUU 0400 & 0401)
Apparently this needs to be done so as to indicate the grouping
(CCUU/CCUU+1 was probably implicit in 2.4).
I had to do this some time ago when I switched to 2.6 and I think it was
Bastian who told me this.
Note that for the 1st time, since the update to klibc 1.2.4-1, I've been
able to complete a 2.6.15 kernel IPL (I suspect the issue was a problem
with pivot_root). Now also I had to change the parm line and /etc/fstab
due to the change in the DASD naming convention from the devfs
(/dev/dasd/0.LCSS.CCUU/partn) to the udev naming convention (/dev/dasdXY))
