Hi,

which version of the 2.4.17 patch are you using (the -nf one or the older)?

That's not a dasd problem, but a problem in the common I/O layer with the
handling of paths (I thought I had that one fixed - at least in the -nf
patch...)

Is there something wrong with the paths leading to your dasds? (Check with
#cp q paths to <devno>) If so, you might try to vary the ailing path(s)
offline completely and try if the system will come up then.

Mit freundlichen Gr��en/Regards

After successfully building 2.4.17 from Developerworks (thanks Mark), I get
the following at IPL time:
(DASD was formatted in classic layout under kernel 2.4.7)
-------------------------------------------------------
i 173f clear

--------------------------------------------------------------
Rebooting from my 2.4.7 kernel works fine.
Is there a requirement to reformat DASD with the new layout?
TIA
