Cornelia,

Thanks for your reply!

Which 2.4.17 patch are you referring to? 

I re-downloaded all 2.4.17 patches from Developerworks on May 14:
     36467 May 14 14:17 linux-2.4.17-s390-1-lcs.tar.gz
     41326 May 14 14:17 linux-2.4.17-s390-2.tar.gz
      7254 May 14 14:17 linux-2.4.17-s390-kerntypes.tar.gz
    508709 May 14 14:17 linux-2.4.17-s390.tar.gz
     20155 May 14 14:17 linux-2.4.17-timer-2.tar.gz

This is not the order in which I applied the patches ;)

The only other patches I applied were for resierfs for 2.4.17. All patches applied 
cleanly.

For both kernels, all experimental stuff is off in the config.

I have four functional, online paths to the IPL device (see below). The configuration 
is exactly the same when I successfully boot the 2.4.7 kernel (I simply run zipl 
pointing to the desired kernel, and reboot).

#CP Q PATHS TO 173F
Device 173F, Status ONLINE
 CHPIDs to Device 173F (PIM)  : 21 9B 12 AD 19 94
  Physically Available (PAM)  : +  +  +  +  +  +
  Online               (LPM)  : +  +  +  -  +  -
                       Legend     + Yes - No

If there's any additional info you would like, please let me know. Thanks again for 
your help.
Cheers
Patrick
