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.
