Carlos, The one thing I can help you with is your question about the parmfile. Just having "ro" in it should be fine.
How did you create your tape? What URL did you download the kernel and initrd from? Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Carlos A. Bodra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 11:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Debian s/390 R 3.0 Hi, I4m trying to boot Debian S/390 under an IBM 9672 R22 with Ramac III dasds. I4m downloaded tape files (initrd, kernel and parm) from Debian site and recorded them in a 3490 cartdrige. I ipled tape but get in 9672 HMC Hardware Messages the following: IPL Error. Disable wait PSW 000a000000000000. I tested earlier Suse 7.2 to ipl under same machine and situation, it4s boots ok. I ipled Suse 7.2 tape under a CMS machine and all runs fine. I tried same with Debian and get same result as in standalone. I checked LRECL and RECFM as discribed in manuals. PARMFILE downloaded from Debian site shows: ro My question is: is correct? just RO statement? I found no documentation about where linux messages goes under standalone IPL. Any hint or tip about how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. -- Carlos Alberto Bodra Becher VM/VSE - (Now tring to be a Linux/390 too) System Consultant Sco Paulo - SP - Brasil
