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).

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