The capability to specify kernel parms at IPL time was developed by Leland Lucius. I don't believe anyone is distributing kernels with that code in it, though. For that matter, I don't know if the mods ever made it into the kernel source tree. A real shame if it didn't.

I'd think that this would be a common enough problem that there'd be a way to address it... Linux on the PC allows an interactive startup, which would help, but I don't see that option. I booted the install system, and went through the install until the DASD were installed. Then went in with ssh and changed inittab to runlevel 2, then rebooted the main system. The problem turned out to be a finger check in rc3.d: WebSphere was supposed to be named S60... But somehow ended up being S01... And was the first thing started, and there wasn't enough system around it to allow it to start, so everything hung there. Go figure. It's up now, and everyone's happy. -- Robert P.
