>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? < No worries. We have the HMC set up tree style but next time I'm out there I might change it to classic and try it the way you do it. It seems now that the primary SE is saying that there are "one or more objects in an unexceptable state" so I'll have to find out what they are. Could be the root of all our problems right there.
