Is there any doc on setting up 1 linux kernel and all linux guests booting from That 1 kernel...
Right now I have 8 linux guests all with separate boot disks...
Be nice to have just one..
You can put the kernel in NSS and then everyone can IPL that shared segment, but that doesn't really get you around needing some per-machine unique r/w DASD. Although with a shared kernel in NSS and smart use of basevol/guestvol, you could probably get a system with minimal writeable DASD.
http://www.vm.ibm.com/linux/linuxnss.html tells you how to do the NSS trick. Ignore the "64M is recommended" bit; I've done it successfully in 12M. Do it in the smallest size you're ever going to want to run with.
