Package: debian-installer Severity: important In earlier versions of the Sarge installer, when you selected a qeth device which was a HiperSockets transport (Layer 3 only) coupled to a VM guest LAN (or, probably, to a real HiperSockets trans-LPAR connector, but I don't have any way to test that), you were prompted to choose eth0 or sit0, and as long as you chose eth0 everything proceeded OK.
For some time now--at least a couple months--this has been broken. You no longer get the sit0/eth0 prompt, and (by looking at the guest LAN from outside the virtual machine) it appears that the IP address on the HiperSockets adapter is not being set. This breaks installation of Sarge for all s390/HiperSockets users (I don't know how many of these there are, but at least one). Using an ancient installer appears to work (the lack of kernel modules may still bite me, but installation is not complete), and using QDIO OSA rather than HiperSockets worked last I tried (which has admittedly been months). My guess is that it's defaulting to IPv6 instead of IPv4 (sit0 was always the first choice), and HiperSockets, at least under z/VM 4.4, doesn't support IPv6. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: s390 Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-3-s390 (I think) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
