Well...I'm not doing something right on this zipl command. I am attempting to write a boot sector onto my new 2.4.9 system using my ramdisk system.
To do this, I mount the 2.4.9 system to /mnt/sysimage then I issue a chroot command to that directory. Once in there, I modified my parmfile, renamed /etc/zipl.conf so it wouldn't get in the way and I ran the zipl command. It seemed to run ok, but when I boot I get these nasty msgs: Kernel panic VFS unable to mount root fs dasd: no access to device (94:1) due to probeonly mode VFS: cannot open root device "dasda1" Please append "root"=boot option It looks like it's not reading my parmfile or interpretting it the way I thought it would. My parmfile reads like this: root=/dev/dasda1 DASD=cf5-cf6 CHANDEV=lcs0,0x200,0x201 HOST=denmaint.twcable.com:eth0:198.59.12.33 Thanks, Dave
