We are starting our upgrade from z/VM 5.1 to z/VM 5.3. We use z/VM
strictly for Linux. We are all old MVSers that originally installed z/VM
5.1. Now we are rethinking our z/VM installation and maintenance
methodology. We have talked to various VMers but have

You are right. How do we order z/VM and not get z/VM? (rhetorical). I do
not know what went wrong but we ordered it again. The problem with fool

With SLES10, I had the following menu:
1 = SLES_10_SP1_2
2 = ipl
3 = failsafe
However, I experienced the same problem even using failsafe. I do not see
much difference between all 3 of these options.
What parameters can I specify in /etc/zipl.conf that will force Linux boot
