I'm having to reload the starter linux system multiple times and am getting tired of having to re-enter the various information everytime I reboot. I know I can put this information in the .PRM file and infact have, but other than the root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off DASD=200-20F line, I can't get

I was under the impression that all the distros included the needed modules.conf entries. I.e. The entry has to be there, but you don't have to put it there. I believe this is true only if you add a device of that type during installation. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM mikemac at us.ibm.com (845)

That is true of Red Hat. SLES8 has a fairly long /etc/modules.conf with aliases for 8 CTCs, 8 ESCON connections, and 10 IUCV connections. What gets put into /etc/chandev.conf for both distributions depends on what was specified during installation. Mark Post -Original Message- From:

Well, then I guess I need to ask how many files you have in your virtual reader. If a cp change rdr all keep nohold command got issued, the starter files don't get purged when read. If you've still got the original three at the top of the queue, the system will never see the newer versions you
