I am hoping someone may have an idea what is causing the following problem
during initial installation of SuSE SLES8 under zVM on an Amdahl 700 series
processor. The IPL of the installation systems reports a couple of errors
during boot. Following is an extract from the console. Please note the lines
beginning '/linuxrc'.

Further errors occur if I try to go through the NIC selection process, but a
much better idea of the problem is gained by choosing option 0 and falling
into the shell. From here all the followng commands, plus more I am sure
give the pasted error.

I was also hoping someone might be able to point me to a document that
describes the contents of the above data, especially the 'User Code', as I
have used VM Trace, and can not seem to explain this field, assuming it is
supposed to reflect the storage locations at the time of the interrupt.
Thanks.
