Hi Mark.
I noticed /sys/class/misc/vmcp was 10 63
OSA-LNX1:~ # cat /sys/class/misc/vmcp/dev
10:63
So I deleted /dev/vmcp and manually created the node
as 10 63
and now it works just fine.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mark.
I moved vmcp to the INITRD_MODULES but it still results in the same
message.
during boot:
Starting udev
Creating devices
Loading kernel/drivers/s390/char/vmcp.ko
z/VM CP interface loaded
.
.
.
Error: Could not open device /dev/vmcp: No such device
+++ RC=3 +++
my settings now are:
INITRD_MODULES="vmcp"
## Type: string
## ServiceRestart: boot.loadmodules
#
# This variable contains the list of modules to be loaded
# once the main filesystem is active
#
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=""
>From what I can tell, the device exists...
OSA-LNX1:/ # ls -l /dev/vmc*
crw------- 1 root root 10, 62 Jun 29 13:06 /dev/vmcp
OSA-LNX1:/ #
Thanks again for any and all help!

Which distribution are you running? On SLES, you can add vmcp to the list
=
of modules that need to be in the initrd by editing /etc/sysconfig/kernel
INITRD_MODULES=3D"vmcp"
