David, I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but here are the CF-related console messages extracted from our most recent IPL of a z/VM 5.4 system running in an LPAR on a z10:

One presumes that you have looked up the HCP messages you recieved, right? Questions for you: 1) (Since Alan mentioned it) what sort of LPAR definition is involved? I.e. is it a VM LPAR? 2) Has your CFCC4 virtual machine ever initialized successfully before? 3) If it did initialize before, was it on the very same CEC? 4) If it did initialize before, (the obvious question) - what changed (e.g. hardware, LPAR definition, z/VM system upgrade or maintenance)?
