With RHEL3 beta and their kernel updates, zipl is being written with an initrd and with the only parameters being "root=LABEL=/".
What I'm curious is where it's finding which subchannel addresses and the order to load them with the dasd driver along with any other information (like ro!). In RH 7.2 I passed that information with the kernel parameters. It's not there anymore, so I gunziped and loop mounted the initrd file zipl is pointing at, but didn't see anything like a parmfile there. The /boot/parmfile is not /boot/parmfile.1 and it only has the root=LABEL=/ line. I thought I'd find something about this in the release notes, but didn't see anything related to this.
