Hello there, I'm trying to get a 'diskless' VM by IPling a kernel from the reader and using a parmfile (in the reader, after the kernel) to determine the hostname and CTC info (IP address, netmask and the partner's IP address). I am also using V-DISK as swap.
I have already compiled the CTC stuff into the kernel, and am passing the kernel a parameter like "ctc=ctc0,0x2000,0x2001", but this has no effect because I need the CTC to be activated in the kernel initialisation functions (before the root_nfs stuff) so that a NFS connection can be made. (I know the parmfile trick works because I can boot from the reader but still using DASD and after the DASD is mounted, the CTC connection starts fine using info from /proc/cmdline .) So my question is: Has anyone else tried this and got it to work, or has anyone got any useful comments/suggestions ? Thanks in advance, Ashley Chaloner.
