All my systems are built to run under VM or MVS w/o change. I do have the extint module in so that I can shut them down cleanly under VM, so that is not a problem. And I actually have code in boot.local and halt.local that checks to see if it is VM or LPAR and in each cases, takes different actions.
Under LPAR mode, the VM modificaitons are simply ignored. However, if anyone uses the HMC reset button or IPL button or activate/deactivate button on the HMC, the LPAR Linuxes often are damaged. I starting to believe that we may be the only shop in the world running Linux under an LPAR! ===== Jim Sibley Implementor of Linux on zSeries in the beautiful Silicon Valley "Computer are useless.They can only give answers."
