I run zipl with kernel and ramdisk. It is working only for 2.4.x kernel. 2.2.16 kernel can't find ramdisk after boot. I had to do tape. Old way is the best way :) WBR, Sergey Coffin Michael C <Michael.C.Coffi To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Sent by: Linux Subject: Re: zipl on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED] RIST.EDU> 24.06.02 16:36 Please respond to Linux on 390 Port Hi Sergey, FWIW, I had NUMEROUS problems trying to get zipl to accept command line parameters with the /etc/zipl.conf file in place. I could ONLY get zipl to work properly by renaming/deleting the zipl.conf file and THEN zipl accepted my command line parameters. Try it that way, I'll bet it will work for you. :) Michael Coffin, VM Systems Programmer Internal Revenue Service - Room 6527 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Can you give me example? I can't find, how can i say to zipl boot device. I try to use zilo, but i got some strange errors like "this file on disk 94/0 insteed of 94/24". 94/0 - my root, 94/24 - my new disk, i think. WBR, Sergey
