Hi Peter
I've been able to get the diag driver loaded on my failing test clone. 

Did some testing using two clones (identical kernel/initrd/bootmap etc).
On one, the diag driver worked as expected. On the other, it failed to
load. Turns out the only difference was in zipl.conf.

This fails:
parameters="dasd=800,801(diag),802-83f,900-90f(diag) possible_cpus=3
root=LABEL=/"

This works:
parameters="dasd=800,801(diag),802-83f possible_cpus=3 root=LABEL=/"

zipl may not be happy with certain types or forms of parameters?

Thank you for yout interest
Cheers
Pat

I'm assuming this was just a typo but the line above would create a
initrd in file

  initrd-2.6.9-55.0.2.E

while zipl is loading

>   initial ramdisk...: /boot/initrd-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL.img at 0x800000

The output of mkinitrd also doesn't quite match with the boot messages.
Please make sure that you're not accidently loading an outdated version
of the initrd.


Regards,
  Peter
