Public bug reported: == Comment: #0 - EVGENY CHERKASHIN <[email protected]> - 2016-01-29 06:22:37 == When you boot a kernel that has qeth drivers (core, l2 and l3) compiled into the kernel as opposed to as modules, network interfaces fail to come up. E.g if you have this configuration:
root@r35lp54:~# cat /etc/sysconfig/hardware/config-ccw-0.0.f100 CCWGROUP_CHANS=(0.0.f100 0.0.f101 0.0.f102) QETH_PORTNAME=OSAPORT QETH_PORTNO=0 QETH_OPTIONS=() INTERFACE_NAME=eth1 and run `hwup` command, you get this error message: root@r35lp54:~# hwup ccw 0.0.f100 no kernel module for qeth devices available! Apparently `hwup-ccw-group` unconditionally runs `modprobe`; it should skip this step if the driver is already in the kernel. == Comment: #1 - Hendrik Brueckner <[email protected]> - 2016-01-29 06:37:12 == (In reply to comment #0) > When you boot a kernel that has qeth drivers (core, l2 and l3) compiled into > the kernel as opposed to as modules, network interfaces fail to come up.

Excerpt from hwup-ccw-group: -------------------- elif [ "$NAME" == qeth ]; then modprobe qeth 2> /dev/null || : if [ -d $SYSFS/module/qeth ]; then DRIVER=qeth else error "no kernel module for qeth devices available!" fi fi ------------------- Loading the module unconditionally is fine. To correct the problem, the check for $SYSFS/module/qeth needs to be updated, for example: /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/qeth /sys/devices/qeth == Comment: #2 - Hendrik Brueckner <[email protected]> - 2016-01-29 06:53:03 == A Debian bug report against the sysconfig-hardware package has been submitted. I will update the bugzilla when I have the debian bug number available. ** Affects: sysconfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-136243 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin1604 ** Tags added: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-136243 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin1604 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #813098 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813098 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539624 Title: hwup does not enable qeth when qeth driver is in the kernel (not a module) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysconfig/+bug/1539624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
