Added ?dasd_mod.dasd=0.0.150-0.0.15f? to the zipl.conf and ran zipl. These 
caused massive I/O errors and I had to back out. I analyzed this problem 
further and realized that I had two virtual DASD addresses mapped to this 
z/VM guest, leftover from a previous Reiserfs to EXT3 conversion. I had 
taken them off with the dasd_configure command months previouz. In other 
words, these I/O errors were ok and made now made sense. I updated the 
z/VM guest?s configuration and removed these DASD devices. I then added 
updated zipl.conf as follows:

[ipl]
    image = /boot/image
    target = /boot/zipl
    ramdisk = /boot/initrd,0x2000000
    parameters = "root=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0150-part1 
dasd_mod.dasd=0.0.0150-0.0.015f TERM=dumb"

I ran zipl and rebooted. Now everything is in its normal predictable slot 
as follows:

linuxm02:~> lsdasd

Thanks to everyone that responded. Enjoy your weekend.

Peter,

Have you tried:
parameters = "root=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0150-part1
dasd=0.0.0150-0.0.015f TERM=dumb"
