Bug#451230: linux-image-2.6-s390 / qeth - HSI-interface doesn't come up after reboot
severity 451230 normal
tags 451230 moreinfo
s390 never had automatic setup of devices. Please show your
configuration. The debian installer sets up a configuration in
/etc/sysconfig/hardware which lists all hardware devices which are used
during the installation.

Our HSI-NIC is integrated in the path /etc/sysconfig/hardware with
config-ccw-0.0.0800. The only content in this file is:
CCWGROUP_CHANS=(0.0.0800 0.0.0801 0.0.0802)
Is this correct that the file has only one line?

==========
Sorry, we didn't describe our environment sufficiently.
We running our Linux servers under Z/VM in different LPARs. The NICs and
other hardware (DASDs) are defined in Z/VM for every guest (Linux). The
physical hardware adapters so are mapped in virtual addresses. We aren't
running Linux natively on a LPAR. We use these Linux-servers in a
productive environment. At maintenance work (for example by a power on
reset) we load the Linux guests from one LPAR (which will be maintained)
to another LPAR. So we have the need that it works well. In SLES9 the
HSI-NIC comes up while rebooting the linux-server by IPL from the Z/VM
an we have our network connectivity. But we aren't happy about SLES10
and so we are looking for an alternative distribution.
