RE: Running anaconda - please wait...

["Post, Mark K" <mark.post@xxxxxxx>]

Dave,

 

Is the "portname:VLAN1" what is specified by the other Operating Systems that use that OSA card?  The "qeth: received an IDX TERMINATE on irq 0x10/0x11 with cause code 0x22 -- try another portname" message is usually only seen in cases where it doesn't match what the other systems are using.

Subject: Running anaconda - please wait...

I have been successful in installing RedHat 7.2 with the initrd.img file (2.4.9-37) and associated parm files for a qeth network connection.  This was accomplished with the script "RHSETUP"  This script however does NOT give me an option to perform a custom install.  From previous experience with the IUCF connection, I know that the script "LOADER" does give me that option. 

  

I am attempting install Linux RedHat 7.2 with a qeth network connection on our VM/Machine and am getting the following message when I attempt to use "LOADER".

 

I receive a message that netstg1.img is being loaded then I receive:

 

Running anaconda - please wait

 

Nothing else happens after that. 

 

The VM/Console has the following messages:

 

loop: loaded (max 8 devices)                     
VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev loop(7,0).
md: raid0 personality registered as nr 2

Earlier in the IPL of the linux machine I do get the following messages.  I don't know if they have anythig to do with the problem at hand or not.
