Berthold,
Yes 991 is what we accessed the 191 as. Here is what the CONF file looks like. I replaced some IPs and DNS for XX's for security sake. Btw it not getting to the CONF file before it fails. HOSTNAME="dmapsm01.ba.ssa.gov" DASD="700,200-209,210-217,902-903" NETTYPE="qeth" IPADDR="10.0.XX.X" SUBCHANNELS="0.0.f000,0.0.f001,0.0.f002" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" SEARCHDNS="sh83103.XXX.XXX" GATEWAY="10.0.XX.XX" DNS="10.24.XX.XXX" MTU="1500" LAYER2="1" VSWITCH="1" 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 12:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Error when load z/Linux for first time On Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:46:04 +0000 "Martin, Terry Contractor" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Here is a copy of the PARMFILE that we are using now.

Could you please also quote the RHEL65.CONF file from your 991 disk?
