Re: How to boot a kernel?

[Florian Bilek]

Hi Pat,   May be these URLs help. The SE supports IPL from CDROM or FTP.   http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/os/linux/pdf/l390gp2.pdf   http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/s390/sles7-beta/31-bit/cd1/sles7_s390_en.pdf   For IPLing into an LPAR, there is the option to directly load from the MP3000 or HMC CDROM device. It also allows you to IPL via FTP from a server holding the SuSE Linux S/390 files. Find this button near the ‘LOAD’ button (if you have upgraded to the latest MCL, see Chapter 5 page 17). For using the HMC to run this operation, there is no button ‘Load from CDROM or server’ available on the HMC’s console. Start a remote session to the SE via the single operation button. The SE’s remote console then shows the ‘Load from CDROM or server’ button. 15   Best Regards   Florian
