Everything in your SYSTEM CONFIG after the unmatched /* was ignored. VM did what you told it to. You said start of comment /* and didn't have an end of comment */.

We use one of the MP3000 Emulator Sessions for the Z/VM 4.4 console. This morning, during a scheduled IPL, the operator entered SHUTDOWN REIPL on this console. VM shutdown but no other messages appeared on the console which was my 4 AM wakeup call. After several attempts over the phone, I came to work where I treid several other things : Closed the sessions & restarted them; entered a LOADPARM of E20 (the console address); did a POWER ON RESET; even rebooted OS/2. All to no avail. I then entered a LOADPARM of 01D (an address I had defined to OS/2 TCP/IP as an non-SNA device to be used for a console). VM started coming up. During the start up I noticed a message about an invalid comment in the SYSTEM CONFIG at line xxx. Once VM was up I checked the SYSTEM CONFIG and sure enough, there was a "/*" on that line without a "*/". I corrected this and IPL'ed again from 01D - no error. I then IPL'ed without any LOADPARM and VM came up on Address E20. Has anyone else had a similar problem or was the errant "/*" really the problem ? I'm really at a loss to explain this so any help will be appreciated.
