Hmmm. My initial guess would be that it's trying to load the ECKD driver as a module and failing. That probably means it's not in the ramdisk that you loaded...but if this is the default SuSE install, it certainly should be. When it comes up under VM, you're IPLing from DASD, not from the reader, right? You might want to bring the system up under VM and do both a "zipl" and a "mkinitrd" (is this what the command is under SuSE?) to make sure the boot record and ramdisk are correct. Another thing to check is that you have exactly the same set of DASD defined under VM and in the LPAR: if there's an extra disk that Linux can see under VM, that might be the problem. What does /etc/boot/parmfile (or parmline, don't remember which) contain?
