That did the trick! I changed /etc/modprobe.d/dasd (now called /etc/modprobe.d/dasd.conf) as follows: options dasd_mod dasd=0.0.0200(diag),0.0.0201,0.0.0202-0.0.0203(diag) softdep dasd_eckd_mod pre: dasd_diag_mod softdep dasd_fba_mod pre: dasd_diag_mod I also removed the two lines from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules dasd_mod dasd_diag_mod since they are no longer needed. I then rebuilt the initial RAM filesystem and re-ran the boot loader (zipl). It's working now! Thanks for your help. I'll leave this problem record open though, to remind you that files in /etc/modprobe.d which do not have an extension of .conf need to be re-enabled (at least for a while longer) to prevent migration problems. But my system is bootable again, now that I've made the changes indicated above. -- .''`.
