Here is a copy of the PARMFILE that we are using now. We did try it with just the first line and that did not work either.
root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off ramdisk_size=40000 CMSDASD=991 CMSCONFFILE=RHEL65.CONF vnc vncpassword=redhat mpath Terry martin – Contractor Cell – 443 854-2452 Office (NCC) – 410 965-8682 Email – [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Berthold Gunreben Sent: Monday, August 25, 2014 11:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Error when load z/Linux for first time could you please quote the parmfile that you use for the installation here somewhere? One issue that is found in the logs is this one: No filesystem could mount root, tried: iso9660 I guess that this actually should be a CPIO archive and nothing like iso9660 (I am not from redhat, thus I never tried). I also heard rumors, that the parmfile on redhat ISO images was sometimes corrupted, and thus it should be fixed before you can use it. The message like RAMDISK: incomplete write (40960000 != 65745920) also points to a broken parmfile. So, please show us the parmfile (this should actually only be a text file with maybe 2 lines, so no big deal for the list).
