[Redhat-s390-list] Re: Redhat 2.4.9-17 and OCO LCS driver for OSA2 card is working f or me now !!

Mark,
Thanks for all the help!
The IBM OCO LCS driver is working with RH 7.2 (2.4.9-17) now.

I was initially getting this error at boot time:
depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.9-17tape/kernel/net/lcs.o

I noticed yesterday that IBM had replaced the OCO driver tar file on
1/15/2002,
so I downloaded and reinstalled and now it's working!!

A couple of things I ran into on the RH 7.2 and OCO install:

1.  The zipl command that gets executed at the end of the RHSETUP script
fails
     because it is trying to reference a misspelled image name. I believe it
was referencing
     vmlinuz-2.4.9-17.tape and it should have been vmlinuz-2.4.9-17tape

     I built a /boot/parmfile  (use all lower case!!) and reran zipl.
     zipl -t /boot -p /boot/parmfile -i /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-17tape

2.  In section3 of the "How to install the LCS...." document the "tar"
command is in error.
  The correct syntax should be:

      tar -xzOf redhat-oco-2.4.9-17-s390-2.tar.gz
redhat-oco/redhat-oco-2.4.9-17-2.tar.gz | tar -C / -xzf - ./lib

      Thanks to Jochen from IBM on getting back to me on this.


FYI
