You should be able to get the system up to network access by using commands. At that point you can use the standard tools to update the configuration files.
- Get into maintenance mode using ^D (not sign D on 3270) - Provide root password - cio_ignore -R - chcchwdev -e 0.0.0124 (repeat for other disks that haven't appeared) - pvscan (to ensure the volumes you need are there) - vgscan (see if the VG(s) is/are active, If not use the vgchange -ay <vg> to activate) - lvscan (to see if the logical volumes are available) - mount -o remount,rw / (remount root so that it's r/w) - mount -a to get all the other mountpoints populated - cat /etc/dasd.conf (tell me what you see) If all that's required to get the root file system up is already present with the current rd.dasd= entries in /etc/zipl.conf, then updating /etc/dasd.conf may be enough for you to get going again. Given how far you are into the boot process I think that *may* be the case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
