Where I thought it was something that would be fixed with a service pack, it turns out, it was a novice type error.
In IPLing the text decks in CMS to start the Suse installation process, I was punching out the 31 bit text decks and not the 64 bit text decks. The install seemed to go normally, but somewhere in the "loading ram disk" process, I would get an error. IPL'ing the right text decks fixed this problem. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting Been off on other things and our SUSE service contract was taken over by Novell (hence, networking is now paying for our SLES service contract on the mainframe). I don't know if that is good or not. I'm no longer in control. Anyway, while the contracts are straighten out (or at least my ability to use the maintenance side of suse), I wanted to start with SLES9 64 bit. We have: SLES7 SLES8 SLES9 31 bit running.. When I install SLES9 64 bit (z/890 with z/VM 5.1), during the load of the ram disk, I get an error and the install abends. I see from the FTP server that we are retrieving code, like we should be. Before I get too far into this.... Is a service pack for SLES9 64 bit required, in order to install? If so, I just stop until our maintenance stuff is worked out. If not, I can work on this problem while the maintenance stuff is worked out. The networking type, for this test, is IUCV.
