We use SuSE 8.1 SP03 31-bit Linux running in two IBM 2066-002 native LPARs connected to the IBM ESS 2105 w/ FICON and sharing the DASD with 4 z/OS LPARs and one z/VM LPAR. The z/VM LPAR is running 2 Linux guests that are utilizing the IBM 2105 DASD as well. We reboot our Linux Systems once a week and take a flashcopy of its DASD before starting it back up. This takes about 8 seconds. We use FDR to take full volume backups at our convenience after Linux is back up and operational. Hope this helps.
To install it, we used the CD drive in the IBM 2066-002?s HMC. I have also installed it from my desktop running a WARFTP server with no problems. Now, I do not know if any of this helps you out, but I hope it does.

It seems that the ppc64 kernel is the only one that would work, given the ps64-II's in the shark. I am able to get to the point of aix installation (serial terminal on S1, keyboard interrupt during splash rs/6000 display). Should I just use "boot-floppies" at that point, or is there another vector to get it to boot a linux kernel?
