Package: installation-reports Version: Etch When doing a network install of Etch under VM using guest LANs for connectivity, the installation appears to work fine untill re-boot. When the system re-boots you get the error that level 2 networking is not supported on VM Guest LAN. You get this message even though you specify no level 2 networking during the install. The problem is caused by the installer inserting a line for level 2 networking in the startup file. I found the following solution mentioned on the debian system administration web site:
There is a bug in the layer2 config stuff I think. The way I fixed it on an actual mainframe (not hercules...so maybe its not the same issue.), was to simply remove the line containing layer2 from /etc/sysconfig/scripts/hardware/hwup-ccw-group. Once this was removed, I didn't get the corresponding error you see at boot time and the network started without issue. Until I made this change, I couldn't see the hsi0 device through an ifconfig -a either. The network also worked perfectly during the install, but failed on the subseqent boot. I believe there may be a place to set this in a config file rather than delete the line that sets it in setup script, but its location eludes me at this time. I hope this helps someone else! I'll try to submit a bug report when I get the time. Editing the file mentioned and removing the level 2 line fixed the problem for me.
