Yes, that is normal. The zipl command is still used, infrequently, to write out the kernel and ramdisk that are used to get grub2 up and running. But you shouldn't have to modify the config file for that since that isn't what boots the kernel and ramdisk _you_ care about. > With SLES 12 I also had some trouble booting the system properly after > a clean install (it might have something to do with the swap disk I > mentioned in a earlier mail) - unless I remove any trace of > "resume=/path/to/disk" in grub-config. Does having resume on s390 have > any meaning? Absolutely it has meaning, as long as your swap space is large enough to hold all the memory contents that need to be written there. One caveat there is if you use something like a VDISK or a T-DISK for your paging. If those "go away" for any reason, you won't be able to resume the system from where it was paused.
