Hello everyone again, Mark,

I tried to IPL in rescue mode by doing these 2 configuration files:

RESCUE   PRM      A1

root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off ramdisk_size=40000 cio_ignore=all,]0.0.0009
inst.rescue
CMSDASD=191 CMSCONFFILE=redhat.conf

REDHAT   CONF     A1

DASD="200-206"

HOSTNAME="linux8"

NETTYPE="qeth"

IPADDR="172.27.20.19"

SUBCHANNELS="0.0.0900,0.0.0901,0.0.0902"

NETMASK="255.255.0.0"

GATEWAY="172.27.20.254"



It does IPL the installation dialog but never the rescue system.

What am I missing?

TIA.
Regards.
Roberto.
