Rich and I are working together on this one. New message during zLinux ipl:
Incorrect format for upper bound of DASD range 200-204 300: 204 300 I cannot locate this error and Rich isn't sure what Linux is complaining about. A cms format was done on 201, 202, 203, and 204. Dasd at 300 was not formatted. Here are the mdisk statements for the zLinux virtual machine: MDISK 200 3390 0001 3338 RHL000 MR MDISK 201 3390 0001 3338 RHL001 MR MDISK 202 3390 0001 3338 RHL002 MR MDISK 203 3390 0001 3338 RHL003 MR MDISK 204 3390 0001 3338 RHL004 MR MDISK 300 3390 0001 3338 RHL300 MR MDISK 199 3390 0001 END RHLNX0 MR ____________________ Jim Hughes Consulting Systems Programmer Mainframe Technical Support Group Department of Information Technology State of New Hampshire 27 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03301 603-271-5586 Fax 603.271.1516 Statement of Confidentiality: The contents of this message are confidential.
