Help needed with Fedora11.s390 networking
Hi All
I have been playing around with the newly released Fedora 11 for s390 - after a few false starts I now have it running on my Ubuntu 8.10 system. I decided to move to Ubuntu after having issues with Windows networking.
I now have an IPLable Fedora running under Hercules 3.06. I first tried Hercules 3.05 but hit a problem with what appears to be PAV support. F11 would start to IPL but crashed trying to bring the sysres online. A helpful hint from Harold G about using the cu=3990-3 parameter advanced me to the stage where I was able to logon - firstly via the Hercules console in line mode - and then via SSH. The line mode of Hercules where all commands are prefixed with a dot is useful but I haven't worked out how to edit any files - there doesn't seem to be any way to send control key sequences to the editor (Like ^c and ^x etc)
So I have a running system that I can get into from my local machine - what is eluding me is getting from Fedora to the internet so that I can configure more packages.
Below are some snips of how my networking has been set up...
From the Hercules config file
# networking, channel-to-channel adapter
0600.2 3088 CTCI -n /dev/net/tun -t 1500 192.168.10.13 192.168.10.14
0610.2 3088 CTCI -n /dev/net/tun -t 1500 192.168.10.23 192.168.10.24
# networking, LCS adaptor
0700.2 3088 LCS 192.168.10.8 -n /dev/net/tun -m 01:02:03:04:05:06
Only the first CTCI definition seems to be discovered and working.
From Hercules startup
HHCHD018I Loadable module directory is /usr/lib/hercules
HHCCF065I Hercules: tid=B7AE26B0, pid=7708, pgid=7708, priority=0
HHCDA020I /home/bern/fedora390.img cyls=10017 heads=15 tracks=150255 trklen=56832
HHCTE001I Console connection thread started: tid=B785BB90, pid=7708
HHCTE003I Waiting for console connection on port 3270
HHCCT073I 0600: TUN device tun0 opened
HHCCT073I 0610: TUN device tun1 opened
HHCLC073I 0700: TAP device tap0 opened
Hercules seems happy with the two CTCs and the LCS definition.
From inside Fedora here is the IFCONFIG output

Any clues as to what I am missing ????????
