Hi Mark, when I first read your message I thought you were joking, but I'm almost hoping that you aren't. How do I tell, or can I tell if I'm using an "LPAR" kernel? Does such a thing really exist?
I copied the ramdisk boot files from the cdrom to a VM minidisk, punched them to the reader, and ipl'ed. I didn't get any error messages, or I guess I should say I didn't get any messages that looked like error messages. Then I did a "normal" install, just like I the installs I've done in the LPARs. I can re-install if I have to, but needless to say, that's not my first choice of fun things on my long list of things to do.
