Thanks for your response, Rob, but the website you have provided assumes
OS/390
is running on the machine on which Linux is being installed.  I am
attempting to
to run this under VM, and don't have OS/390 installed on this box.

I hope all will forgive me for the following, it is the only way to convey
the
whole picture.  ("lin" is a REXX that deletes any reader files, then reloads
the
LINUX files and executes.)

Should work though. Many reported that it works for them. Maybe
check that you had the latest code from
   http://www.rvdheij.com/linuxipl.html
If you get as far as this message it looks like Linux did pick up
your parm line but failed to load the initrd. Any messages in that
area? Do you get the message about the ramdisk found?
