Hi Scott,

Possibly the easiest way to get it into a usable from would be to use my
NETDATAX package available from http://www.vmworkshop.org/node/70. It
would replace the VMUR receive, convert from NETDATA format and convert
to ascii at the same time.

I reran the zipl and rebooted.  It works now.  Have another question
regarding VMUR.  When I read the file in, its in NETDATA format.

How do I convert it to ASCII?


Reader file 0014 has NETDATA format 


Thanks
Scott

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.
