Hi Adam
I wasn't using you script, but rather Yast with mkinitrd and zipl.
My /etc/zipl.conf didn't change.
It was and still is:
linux58:~ # cat /etc/zipl.conf
# Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Tue Jun 24 15:22:32 UTC 2008
[defaultboot]
defaultmenu = menu
:menu
default = 1
prompt = 1
target = /boot/zipl
timeout = 10
1 = ipl
2 = Failsafe

[ipl]
image = /boot/image
target = /boot/zipl
ramdisk = /boot/initrd,0x1000000
parameters = "root=/dev/disk/by-id/ccw-IBM.13000000075850.6806.34-part1
TERM=dumb"

[Failsafe]

The bootmap on /boot/zipl did change, so zipl seems to have been doing
something.

It *should* be doing it....well, a file should be created next to the
current zipl.conf that does it. Send me the contents of your
zipl.conf and I'll take a look. I've had a problem with my regexp not
matching all the reasonable parmlines before; this might be the same.
