I'm having trouble IPLing the starter SLES11 system using Hercules 3.06. The IPL method should be equivalent to a LPAR load from CD-ROM. The deployment.pdf included within SuSE's docu directory didn't reveal any obvious differences why what works for SLES10 SP2 installation under Hercules doesn't work for me now with SLES11 media.
ipl /path/to/suse.ins now results in: HHCCP007I CPU0000 architecture mode set to ESA/390 HHCCP011I CPU0000: Disabled wait state PSW=000A0000 00000000 Command ==> CPU0000 PSW=000A000000000000 24M.W..... instcount=2 The new SLES11 suse.ins is: * SuSE Linux for zSeries Installation/Rescue System vmrdr.ikr 0x00000000 initrd.off 0x0001040c initrd.siz 0x00010414 initrd 0x00800000 parmfile 0x00010480 All files are present. For reference, the SLES10SP2 suse.ins was fairly similar and works without problems for SLES10: * SuSE Linux for zSeries Installation/Rescue System vmrdr.ikr 0x00000000 initrd.siz 0x00010414 initrd 0x00800000 parmfile 0x00010480 There's no z/VM in the mix. I also replaced vmrdr.ikr with cd.ikr in the .ins file, but the result was the same. Has anyone already been through a SLES11 LPAR IPL from CD, or can get me started in the right direction on this?
