Got a call from one of our operators over the weekend. Apparently one of our linux machines failed to start. Posted this on the IBMVM list but figured I'd post this here as it involves IPLing z/Linux.
So, looking at the log, I see the guest machine went into a disabled wait state. 00: zIPL v1.6.0 interactive boot menu 00: 00: 0. default (SLES_10_SP1) 00: 00: 1. SLES_10_SP1 00: 2. SLES_10_SP1_2 00: 3. ipl 00: 00: Note: VM users please use '#cp vi vmsg <number> <kernel-parameters>' 00: 00: Please choose (default will boot in 10 seconds): 00: Booting default (SLES_10_SP1)... 00: HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000A0000 00000100 I've been able to IPL the guest machine into Linux with no issues. Nothing I know of has been changed. I'm seeing a lot of messages related to the 000A0000 but none for 00000100. What's going on? Is the linux guest somehow getting corrupted? Do I need to run a zipl to rebuild the boot record information? We're running SLES10 under z/VM 5.3 Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
