Craig, The first thing that comes to mind is to make sure that you got the device numbers in the correct order. Just because the system found a file system on a device it thinks _should_ have the root file system on it, doesn't mean it really _is_ the root file system.
What you say you did, should have worked, so I can't say right now what else might be the problem.

The approach that I took was to backup the filesystem using tar then restore it to the new DASD. Then I updated zipl.conf on the new DASD and ran zipl against it. When I boot from the new DASD it gets past recognising the new DASD and mounts the root filesystem then I get "Kernel Panic: unable to load init try passing init= to the kernel." So what else do I need to do to make this work? Thanks in advance Craig Baker
