initscripts-7.93.24.EL-1.1 On zSeries, using qeth interfaces 1. Set up 3 interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2) 2. Setup eth0 and eth2 to be ONBOOT=yes 3. Setup eth1 to be ONBOOT=no 4. See that /proc/qeth shows eth0 and eth1 as being setup, instead of eth0, eth1 and eth2 (eth1 is initialised, but not up) The attached patches from bhinson fix the problem
