I know this may be a long shot but it did happen to me several years ago.
I had two 3490 c22's numbered 100 and 101. For several months we just mounted tapes
according to what the tape displays idicated without really cross checking what the
console was saying. One day I was attempting to IPL SAE on th test LPAR. These were
escon 3490's shared between the two LPAR's. Anyway I kept issuing the IPL from device
100 command from the HMC. The 3490 drive said mount tape xxxxxx which I did but
nothing happened. Did this many many times before I realized that the tape mount
message was actually coming out on device 101 and not 100. The escon cables were
crossed!
Chances are this isn't your problem but you never know!

no, this is the kernal i downloaded from marist. i don't think this is a
linux problem, i don't think it's even getting to linux. but i thought
perhaps someone else has run across this...

Is this by any chance a Red Hat distribution? If so, look at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121788 Apparently Red
Hat will be putting out an updated s390utils package soon.

Subject: ipling initial linux tape
i'm running an mp3000 with three lpars defined, and am trying to ipl linux
from the intall tape for the first time. when i ipl the tape (a 3490), all
i
get is a load failure, saying "control unit or device is busy". i've tried
varying off the drives/paths/chpid from all the other lpars and ipling
again, but i get the same thing. anyone else run into this?
