Hugo, > I Am installing linux suse on ZVM and need to form zipl.conf since it is my first installation You don't have to modify(form) zipl.conf - the SLES installation process will create it. That being said, after installation I like to add the "dasd=<values>" parameter so I know I can go to /etc/zipl.conf to remember which disks are desired to be accessed and in which order. Also, "vmpoff=LOGOFF" is nice because it prods the userID to logoff after Linux is shut down.
SLES ships with two documents on CD1/DVD1 to help you install: .../dvd1/docu/en # ls preparation.pdf startup.pdf Also, you may be interested in the IBM Redbook "z/VM and Linux on IBM System z The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10 SP2", SG24-7493 on the Web at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247493.html?Open Section 7.5.9 discusses /etc/zipl.conf.
