No, it's been restricted to the reporter and Novell employees. What I can tell
you is that the bug is fixed in the SLES10 SP3 series of s390-tools. Since
SLES10 SP2 and earlier are out of support, there will be no fix provided for
them.
The patch description, which will eventually end up on IBM's developerWorks web
site, shows this:
Description: zipl: handle status during ipl
Symptom: You encounter an error during IPL with "disabled wait" message.
Problem: During the IPL sequence the subchannel of the IPL device has
to be enabled. If there is a status pending or busy condition
on the subchannel the IPL code abborts the IPL and goes into
disabled wait.
Solution: To resolve the problem the IPL code accepts the status pending
or busy condition on the subchannel and does up to 256 retries.
Problem-ID: 57775
If you download the source RPM for the SLES10 SP3 s390-tools, you'll also be to
see the same description in the
s390-tools-sles10-zipl-handle-status-during-ipl.patch file included there
(typos and all).
