Herve, I forwarded your question on to our z/VM support team, and got this answer: 1. Make sure the CP directory entry for the guest says "MACHINE ESA" in it. 2. Make sure your z/VM is running in 64-bit mode: "Q CPLEVEL" 3. Make sure you have the 64-bit Linux/390 code: "uname -m" and look for s390x instead of s390.

How can I be sure that this guest is defined to run in 64-bit mode ?

If so, are you _sure_ you have it defined to run in 64-bit mode? I find it very strange that the system will come up and run if you have 2GB of storage, but not if you have more. That sounds a lot like some fields that should be 64-bit are being interpreted as 31-bit instead.

It works for me when the storage is 2GB or less but with more, it crashes during the boot." We're running 3 instances of 64 bit SLES8 (SP2 level) with 3-5 GB of memory. We were also running an instance of SLES8. We have encountered no problems. What are your symptoms?
