You might check the load or activation profile for the LPAR. It looks like someone changed it to point to a Linux volume, perhaps, OR you overwrote your IPL volume with another OS image (e.g. Linux boot loader). If the physical IPL had failed, you would have gotten an error during activation/load. Wait state 0x0F would not be a valid CP wait state unless it were documented in the Messages and Codes book (it isn't). The only exception would be someone issuing CP SHUTDOWN WAIT F.
