I reinstalled sles10 from the beginning again and kept a close eye on it this time. Here is what happens:
After the installation of CD1 is finished, a dialog box pops up saying that the system will be halted and you must reboot from your root devices to continue. There was a 5 second countdown before the system was shutdown and your VNC windows disappears, so if you blink, you will miss it. After rebooting from my root device, I re-establish my VNC connection as prompted to do so on the z/VM console. YaST2 then picks up with the installation of CD2. It seemed to chug along fine. The next reboot came when the online updates were applied due to a new kernel, despite my efforts to deselect the kernel update. This was a reboot so I simply reconnected with VNC and it picked up where I left off. The z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES10 was a big help. I wished I stumbled across it earlier. Thanks to everyone.

I ended up adding vmcp and hcp as follows to the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file and did a mkinitrd and zipl and both seems OK now.

Do you have to use cpint specifically, or would the new vmcp tool & module be an option? It should be available by default with SLES 10: modprobe vmcp vmcp q stor ks On 4/25/07, Peter E.
