Did you run mkinitrd before you did the zipl ?
Installing a new kernel also installs new drivers, and you have to make a
new initrd to hold those drivers at IPL time since SuSE does not compile
the dasd drivers into the kernel. ( Neither does RedHat - for that matter )

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
Yes, I checked the zipl.conf and then ran zipl.
Yes the Kernel reports the new version which is: Linux version
2.4.21-83-default
I'm stumped.
Thanks
Gene

Did you check that your /etc/zipl.conf is correct and re-run zipl?
When linux first starts, does it report the kernel version that you'd
expect?
