The following wait state codes are in s390-tools-1.9.0/zipl/boot/common.S EENABLE_DEV = 0x00000100 # enable device failed EDISABLE_DEV = 0x00000101 # disable device failed ESSCH = 0x00000102 # start subchannel failed EWRONGTYPE = 0x00000200 # wrong ipl type supplied It appears that the boot loader can't enable the device associated with the kernel selected from the boot menu. It is strange that these wait states aren't documented in the 'wait state' information in the Linux Device Drivers and Commands book.
