Or point me to documention on thei problem. Here's an *idea* (I'm sure you've googled for "invalidate: busy buffer"): - Carve out another VM ID pointing to the same DASDs that comprise the logical volume. - Log off the ID with the failing Linux - Install a different distro on the new ID. I'd suggest SLES-8. Don't worry about LVM DASDs for the install. - When you have a clean install, add the LVM DASDs interactively and to /etc/zipl.conf; run zipl - Reboot and watch Linux come up - hopefully /etc/init.d/bootl.vm and the new kernel will be able to make better sense of the logical volume - Report your findings here -Mike MacIsaac, IBM mikemac at us.ibm.com (845) 433-7061
