Hmm, the other possibility (?) is that Sue is using an "LPAR" kernel, and not the one with VM support.

Could it be that the userid is in XC mode (Q SET) now, or maybe short of storage? If zipl did not write the IPL records you'd get different ones. One option could be that the contents of /boot changed after zipl and it now points the wrong way. You could make sure and start from the ramdisk system again, load the dasd driver and re-run zipl. If nothing else you could run TRACE I during IPL and see where it gets. Rob
