Hello, Bobby. kernel parameters can be specified on the "parmeter=" line in the /etc/zipl.conf file. Here's an example of an entry from my zipl.conf where I specify that a dcss should be loaded at boot time:
[test] target = /boot image = /boot/vmlinuz ramdisk = /boot/initrd.img parameters = root=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0150-part2 dcssblk.segments=SWAPPING Note that the parameter line is just one long line and not split in two as shown here in this e-mail; there's a space between root= and dcssblk.segments= strings. Have a good one, too. DJ On 05/29/2013 01:09 PM, Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] wrote: > Trying to setup a Linux terminal server.
