Ok. I got a z/VM MD5 checksum from Dave. We ran it against the INITRD IMG and KERNEL IMG files and sure enough they did not match the MD5 value that was sent with the RHEL ISO for these two files. So the assumption is corrupted files. The files we downloaded from the HTTP source server to our workstation are good. We ran a MD5 checksum on those and they match.
Our initial load of these files from our workstation down to z/VM was via the PCOMM terminal emulator SEND/RECEIVE. We MD5 checked these files and they don't match. So since we have some security issues at this shop currently using FTPSERVE we tried using FTP to move the files from our workstation to z/OS and then FTP from z/OS to z/VM. Note using FTP all the way through. We than did another MD5 checksum on the files on z/VM and they still don't match. So it looks like something is happening to the files on transfer to z/VM. Any help or ideas?
