Jill, No, not a bad choice, but there is an updated version available at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/s390/kernel/2.2.16-iucv2/images/
I don't know that using the files there will fix your problem, but it won't hurt. Also, you commented that Rob's recipe for writing the IPL files to disk was based on the premise of having OS/390 available. I'm pretty sure that VM has the equivalent of ICKDSF available, so the method should be adaptable to that environment. (Of course, I don't think Rob or I ever thought it would be necessary under VM.)

Anyway here's the exec (very simple): /* REXX */ 'CLOSE RDR' 'PURGE RDR ALL' 'SPOOL PUNCH * RDR' 'PUNCH SUSE IMAGE A (NOH)' 'PUNCH SUSE PARM A (NOH)' 'PUNCH SUSE INITRD A (NOH)' 'CHANGE RDR ALL KEEP NOHOLD' 'IPL 00C CLEAR' Basically empties the reader, loads 3 files to the reader from the LINUX1 minidisk, then IPLs from the reader. I downloaded the install from ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/s390/suse-us-390/images. Bad choice? -----Original Message----- From: Post, Mark K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 11:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Subject: Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01: 00 Jill, I don't know why, but the kernel is not seeing your parmline: Command line is: We are running under VM This is why you're getting the kernel panic. Could you post the contents of your lin exec, and where you got your kernel from? Mark Post
