Hi Dave, Guess I better just give in and try the same route. Problem for our environment is that, in order to install Linux, I had to apply several microcode upgrades to our P390, including a new tape driver. But the tape driver won't support our cartridge drive it isn't an IBM piece of equipment! It appears that to install from tape will require applying the last microcode fix, installing a new tape driver, modifying the config.sys and a couple of other files, creating the install tape, installing, then backing it all out again. Oh well, that's what we get paid the big bucks for, right? ;-)
Thanks for your response as well.

I followed SuSE's instructions on creating an IPL tape and used that for the IPL of the LPAR. This worked fine - I did not get the "Kernel panic" message this time. The only reason why I chose the DASD IPL volume (using instructions that I got from another Manual) was because it was easier to IPL from DASD than from tape.
