Have a look at the output of
# cat /proc/cmdline
and check the syntax closely. For example, there must be no spaces within the
cio_ignore= value, there must be an exclamation mark to remove the device
number rather than add it, the !0.0.000c has to appear after the all not before
and I can imagine that the device number may have to be spelled out in the full
canonical form of "zero dot zero dot four hex digits". Also check you edited
the zipl.conf stanza for the kernel you then actually booted. Since the
contents of /proc/cmdline show the information from the current boot, you'd be
able to tell if it's the wrong stanza because it wouldn't have your edits in
place. Send the output (along with the output of "cio_ignore -l" and "lscss"
for good measure) if it's still not clear.
