Almost, Loren.  LINUX and z/VM (V4 & V5) are designed to run on IFLs. 
OS/390, z/OS, TPF, VSE, VM/ESA, and z/VM V3 will die if you try to IPL 
them on IFLs (whether in an LPAR or as a z/VM guest). 

You are right in that the "die" part will appear to be a hardware problem 
- it isn't.  Just re-IPL in a non-IFL partition and the problem will go 
away.
