Another case of  Linux "getting confused" by some cnt units/iodevices
accessible to it....
In this case it was an improperly configured Bustech that confused it.
I removed that from the Linux LPAR and now I console msgs.

Thanks,

About the only thing I can suggest is:
- Does the system activity display show any activity?
- Can you display the PSW periodically and see where in System.map the
address falls?
- Perhaps you could try to generate the kernel with CONFIG_IPL_TAPE=y
instead of CONFIG_IPL_VM=y

Subject: Redhat 7.2 on z800 0x2 - NO CONSOLE MSGS


I migrated a RedHat 7.2 31bit distribution to a z800 0X2 over the weekend.

This is LPAR MODE.

IPL completes successfully but no console messages.

Sanity check:   It's ok to run RedHat 7.2 31bit mode on a z800 right??

I migrated the linux system from MP3000 internal disk to a new Shark F20...
and I connected both the mp3000 and the new z800 to the shark for data
migration.

Just to make sure I copied the redhat system ok (and modified the boot
parmfile etc.  for new device addrs)...
I IPLed the system (using the MP3000  off of the shark DASD and it boots OK
from the MP3000 !!

So...why am I not getting console msgs on the z800 HMC?
I have stripped down the CHPIDs for the RedHat LPAR to nothing but the
shark disks and a bustech device for IP,
so I know that's not the problem.

I also get the same symptom when I IPL from the HMC CDROM..using an  SLES8
31bit dist.



Any ideas???????

TIA
