Wouldn't a class G SYSTEM RESET CLEAR prior to the IPL reset the i/o
status and hence let the IPL sequence go forward? Or is it too far down
the wrong road?

Mark,
Since he's using a dedicated boot disk, would it help (in the meantime)
if there's a forced delay between virtual machine creation time and
Linux IPL command (i.e, sleep 5)?

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).
