Our organization has been doing a Proof of Concept.. This initiative started with SuSE Linux, which we have tested etc. . . we are now ready to look at Redhat; however, I am having difficulty booting up after my initial prep work.
I am installing into a VM, I have found the instructions (or lack there of) for install 7.2 into a VM. My REDHAT PARAM file looks as follows: 00000,* * * Top of File * * * 00001,root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off DASD=292,200,201 00002,HOST=myhost.somewhere.something:hsi0:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 00003,NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:255.255.255.224:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 00004,RPMSERVER=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ftp/RedHat 00005,/dev/dasdb1:/,/dev/dasdc1:/usr 00006,INSTALL=default DTZ=EST5EDT 00007,SWAP=/dev/dasda1 00008,* * * End of File * * * Once I execute the "redhat" command to begin boot up I receive the following panic: NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 01:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000A0000 8026E38A Has anyone seen this before and if so any idea what I have configured incorrectly? I am certain it is something I have done as I am really new to this z/VM environment. Thanks! Eric Sammons FRIT - Infrastructure Engineering
