Hi DK, Actually, Brian and I are working on this together - CP is actually getting the VINPUT command but evidently doesn't know how to pass it to the Linux OS, we get:
HCPPCX6531E The operating system will not accept commands from the service processor. Does anything special need to be enabled (either in the virtual machine or Linux kernel) to allow responses made via VINPUT to be received by the guest OS?

Your exec as coded only sends virtual machine commands to LINUXVM. You need to send a CP console function command. SEND CP LINUXVM will send the cp command to linuxvm. vi vmsg will pass the command to the boot loader as if it were command from the hardware console.

I'm using the following script to send input to the VM user: 00001 /*Send case-insensitive commands to linux on LINUXVM*/ 00002 Trace Off 00003 Address Command 00004 Parse Arg Command 00005 'EXECIO 0 CP (SKIP STRING SEND LINUXVM' Command 00006 Exit Rc which works fine once the kernel is up. I can log in, issue linux commands, etc. However, when I'm at the bootloader menu prompt, the script has no effect and I'm unable to load a non-default kernel or pass boot parameters. I'm a complete newbie to the VM world, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Does anyone have any ideas?
