It does work with 512M under VM with vswitch and installing from a FTP server.
Up to the point of your failure, there really isn't anything for you to do (or can mess up either). The following is the exec for punching out the text decks needed to IPL from the reader: /* SLES10 IPL */ 'CLOSE RDR' 'PURGE RDR ALL' 'SPOOL PUN * RDR' 'PUNCH VMRDR IKR D (NOH' 'PUNCH PARMFILE IKR D (NOH' 'PUNCH INITRD IKR D (NOH' 'CHANGE RDR ALL NOHOLD' 'IPL 00C CLEAR' I wonder if your IPL decks are proper? I believe that INITRD and VMRDR had to be sent to VM in binary mode with quote site fix 80. The other file had to be sent in ASCII mode so the protocol conversion is done. Anyway, my PARMFILE looks like ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb I had SLES9 running on z/VM 4.2, but I only attempted SLES10 on z/VM 5.2. SLES10 is a 64 bit only flavor. Is your VM IPL'ed in 64 bit mode?

I don't know about 256MB, but probably not.
