RE: Running anaconda - please wait...

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: [Redhat-s390-list] 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).

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.
