I'm trying to use the "menu" functionality that zipl provides.  It doesn't
seem to make any difference in the way my system comes up.  The output I get
from zipl seems to indicate that when I reboot I'll get the menu, but
instead it just immediately boots the default kernel.  My /etc/zipl.conf
file has this in it:
# cat /etc/zipl.conf
[2.4.21]
target=/boot
image=/boot/image-2.4.21
parmfile=/boot/parmfile

[2.4.26]
target=/boot
image=/boot/image-2.4.26
parmfile=/boot/parmfile

:menu1
target=/boot
1=2.4.26
2=2.4.21
default=1


The output from the zipl command is this:
# zipl -m menu1
Using config file '/etc/zipl.conf'
Building bootmap '/boot/bootmap'
Building menu 'menu1'
Adding #1: IPL section '2.4.26' (default)
Adding #2: IPL section '2.4.21'
Preparing boot device: dasdg (0206).
Done.


I'm running on z/VM 5.1.  Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working?


Thanks,

Mark Post
