This problem looks like it will disappear when you install APAR VM63771 Release 440 : UM31479 available 05/11/09 (0601 ) Release 510 : UM31501 available 05/11/09 (5105 ). Without that PTF, z/VM sometimes sets the changed bit when it moves a page from DPA to XST and back(overidication). This is normally not a problem, as Linux calls the writepage function for that page and write the page back. Problem is, the root file system of the installer is cramfs, which is readonly and, therefore, no writepage function is available. If the problem still appears with the PTF feel free to open a problem report. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Christian Borntraeger Linux Software Engineer zSeries Linux & Virtualization ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
