Check out this presentation on linuxvm.org: Help! My (Virtual) Penguin Is Sick! http://linuxvm.org/present/SHARE108/S9248ps.pdf There's a section on VMDUMP, which will give you a kernel memory dump. You'll need to convert it using 'vmconvert', which is available in the s390utils package. This is assuming you're using DASD. If it's a zFCP-only setup, the process is a little different. -Brad On Mon, 2007-07-30 at 13:57 -0400, Morris, Kevin J.
