Ok, i really starting to dislike sysconfig-hardware and everything that deals with it.
So, could you please try the following for me: 1) List things that are actived with e.g.: ls -latr /etc/sysconfig/hardware 2) for each thing listed there activate it with chzdev, eg.: sudo chzdev dasd 0.0.202 -e sudo chzdev qeth 0.0.600 -e .... 3) Move existing sysconfig hardware profiles out of the way: sudo mv /etc/sysconfig/hardware /etc/sysconfig/hardware.backup 4) Regenerate initramfs: sudo update-initramfs -u 5) Reboot sudo reboot And do whatever testing you do, and check if things are more reliable when activated with chzdev using stock udev. If yes, I'll work on necessory modifcation to the installer to stop using sysconfig-hardware and migrated to chzdev instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1560545 Title: Some or all OSA devices may be unavailable after boot if too many are visible Status in sysconfig package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: -- Problem Description -- Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.4.0-13 is installed on LPAR without cio_ignore in kernel command line, so a lot of devices are visible: root@s83lp41:~# ls -1U /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/qeth | wc -l 154 (50 OSA triplets + 4 non-devices) With so many devices the system may boot (initial or reboot) with only some or no interfaces brought up.
