Equipment checks coming from DASD.  It was something called a flapping
link condition- whatever that means.  Microcode patches to the z9 were
required, but we were told it could happen on other processors as well
(not that anyone here seemed to believe that ;).

Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to get the appropriate doc.  What
you should do is open a ticket with Novell and ask them what they need
should it happen again.   (my intentions too - too little time ...).

I will ask the VM guy.  He said that he could not see any messages but
he was not specific about the console.
When you talk about equipment checks, who is doing it?  is it Linux or
zVM?
How can I do more trouble shooting?  My Linux was locked, could not
sign on even from the zVM user-id for my Linux.  The indicate command
was showing 100% cpu but nothing else out of the ordinary.
