OOPS, my bad. I should have realized from the VOLSERs that it was z/VM. BTW - I, personally, _never_ IPL via an activation profile. I just use the "LOAD" function on the "Recovery" page. I drag the LPAR icon onto the LOAD icon. This gives me a "pop up" in which I can put the IPL volume and LOAD parameters (it remembers what I put in last time, however, and initializes the popup with those values).
I don't know if trying the above would give you a better message than using the activation profile. But, hey, you're down, so it can't really hurt to try, right?
