I downloaded the images from ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-s390/current/tape/, just as you did, and I get this result: q r all ORIGINID FILE CLASS RECORDS CPY HOLD DATE TIME NAME TYPE GLT3902 0017 A PUN 00031322 001 NONE 01/30 13:26:10 KERNEL DEBIAN GLT3902 0018 A PUN 00000001 001 NONE 01/30 13:26:25 PARMFILE DEBIAN GLT3902 0019 A PUN 00016423 001 NONE 01/30 13:26:25 INITRD DEBIAN

Then, I went to ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-s390/current/vmrdr and got the kernel.debian file from there. That worked much better, since I am using VM. The other files there are simply symbolic links to the /tape/ directory, so the only thing that is different is the kernel. So, for VM usage, get the kernel from /vmrdr/. I don't really know why the kernel from /tape/ isn't working in LPAR mode. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Carlos A.

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
