Hi, I have several instances of Fedora 15 running under z/VM 5.4 on a z9 BC.
When Fedora boots when the CPU is heavily loaded, the boot fails and enters maintenance mode. When booted while the CPU is lightly loaded, everything is fine. The failure appears to happen when a mount of an LVM managed directory is attempted. Console log: [ 120.764046] qeth: register layer 3 discipline [ 120.816247] qdio: 0.0.1302 OSA on SC 2 using AI:1 QEBSM:0 PCI:1 TDD:1 SIGA:R [ 120.863523] qeth 0.0.1300: Device is a Guest LAN QDIO card (level: V543) [ 120.863580] with link type GuestLAN QDIO (portname: ) [ 120.870075] qeth 0.0.1300: Hardware IP fragmentation not supported on eth0 [ 120.870142] qeth 0.0.1300: Inbound source MAC-address not supported on eth0 [ 120.870509] qeth 0.0.1300: VLAN enabled [ 120.870822] qeth 0.0.1300: Multicast enabled [ 120.871820] qeth 0.0.1300: IPV6 enabled [ 120.872386] qeth 0.0.1300: Broadcast enabled [ 120.872701] qeth 0.0.1300: Outbound TSO not supported on eth0 Starting /nfs [1;31maborted [0m because a dependency failed.

I suspect I need to either slow down the boot, or configure something to ensure that LVM support is turned on before an attempt is made to mount /nfs. Suggestions? Comments?
