Russ -- Thanks for the lengthy response.

The reboots are being triggered by an external process that SSHes in and 
executes "reboot".

I was aware of the /.autofsck file's purpose though I'm not sure if it's the 
culprit.  
Here's the grep fsck results:

[root@psc2897 init.d]# grep fsck *
functions:# Log that something passed, but may have had errors. Useful for fsck
halt:rm -f /.autofsck
halt: echo $"On the next boot fsck will be skipped."
halt:elif [ -f /forcefsck ]; then
halt: echo $"On the next boot fsck will be forced."
netfs:      fsck -A -T -M -a -t opts=_netdev
[root@psc2897 init.d]#

I can also try removing the non-root file systems in attempt narrow the 
possible  culprit file systems.
I will also give the k99 step a shot...

Do you know of any kernel parameters I could add to zipl.conf to produce more 
informational messages that might help diagnose the problem?

Neale --  "uname -a" produces:
Linux psc2897 2.6.32-573.cl6.s390x #1 SMP Wed Oct 14 08:14:21 EDT 2015 s390x 
s390x s390x GNU/Linux

Thanks again to you both for the help!
