Hello all,
I have a SLES9 31-bit image I installed a short while back un zVM. I am
now trying to put the SP2 pack on it using YaST. After I finished I rebooted
and it would not come up correctly, it appeared to be looking for a file in the
previous kernel level name. Remembering discussions regarding mksles9root and
zipl I thought to look for those. I can't find mksles9root but did locate zipl
and the zipl.conf.
When I ran zipl the system would not boot. Got this error:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data
invalid compressed format (err=1)
VFS: Cannot open root device "dasda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
01: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop
I am trying to figure out what I did wrong, and where I can find more
information about zipl.conf. I see the options but not an explanation of things
on the parameter = card.
Any help?
Thanks
