Hi Eddie,
thanks for the tip!
yes i did ipl from minidisk 102, and /boot is on Minidisk as well.
But /dev/dasda1 seems as a part of LVM group. Maybe i remembered wrong.
Anyway, i dont know why all these changed but now i need to change the
default boot minidisk from 100 to 102, my 8 guests have this problem.
I think its somewhere in ZVM side. How can i do it?
Regards

Koray,
Did you try to IPL 102 and see if it comes up.
Is the /boot is also on Minidisk 102 as well?
You also should mount "/dev/dasda1 to /mnt " to see if the "/boot"
is still on that partition.

Subject: Re: HCPGIR450W and HCPGIR453W after editing user direct
Hi again to all,
after doing lots of research i found the problem is somewhere in linux,
let me explain.
- I checked all dasds, there were no offline or unattached.
- No overlap in diskmap file.
- I compared direct user file with the old backup and i saw there is no
change with disk mappings.
- I did all similar checks on Z/VM side, no problems found.
- I ipled from SLES11 DVD and choosed boot installed system, it boots!
So i thought it's about ZIPL configuration but there was nothing wrong
there. I regenerated the bootmap again by running /sbin/zipl, and tried
to reipl from Minidisk100, but no luck.
Now lets see what's weird;
When i first installed SLES, the disk mapping was:
Minidisk100 - dasda - /boot
Minidisk101 - dasdb - swap
Minidisk102 - dasdc - /
Minidisk110 - dasdd - LVM Member
...
Minidisk209 - dasdn - LVM Member
But when i boot with cd, and activate the DASD's i see
Minidisk100 - dasda
Minidisk101 - _dasdn_
Minidisk102 - dasdb
Minidisk110 - dasdc
...
It seems the mapping has changed somehow. But when i run the installed
system from DVD menu, i see DASD's as they supposed to be:

As you can see, it seems there is nothing wrong.But when i try to boot
from Minidisk100, i see;
Mounting root _/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0100-part1_
Unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attemted to kill init!
HCPGIR450W ...
I re-run ZIPL but, no change, it still searches 0.0.0100 for root fs. I
think the reason is same with the first DASD activation menu with DVD.
Linux somehow sees diskmaps different and i cant change the ZIPL behaviour.
Now, i need to change ZIPL to mount root-fs from Minidisk102.
And then research why the Minidisk-Linux Dasd mapping is changing.
Sorry for the long mail and thanks for your patient.

I have seen this happen as well; when trying to boot from san disks.
Do you have your root filesystem on a san disk? Can you post your user
direct entry for a user that fails?
When you logged all the way out of your Linux guests you reset that
user. A lot of different things could have happened at that point.
Do any of your Linux guests still work? When they boot do they go
straight to the
CPU errors? I am assuming you don't get the zipl boot menu.
One thing to look for is an overlaps in your disk map.
{from maint}
diskmap user {generates a new disk map}
x user diskmap {opens the new map in the wonderful z/os editor}
{then search for overlaps}
{I usually use "right 10" first so I can see the "gap' messages"}
/over
If you have an overlap that would be the issue.
Otherwise either you are not finding your disk at boot or your zipl
boot was corrupted.
If you a working system you can move the disk to the new system and
try to mount it from the working Linux , if it mounts then you can try
to rewire the zipl boot block.

Hello all,
We have 14 Sles Guests running on Z/VM 5.4. We edited the user direct
file and changed the memory settings of Linux guests.For example;
linux001 - 2048M 4096M
linux002 - 2048M 4096M
has changed to
linux001 - 3072M 6144M
linux002 - 1024M 2048M
Now, i cant ipl my guest's. When i try to ipl from minidisk 100,
linux 001 says:
HCPGIR453W CP Entered, program interrupt loop.
linux002 says:
HCPGIR450W CP entered, disabled wait PSW 00020001 80000000 00000000 001536B0
It seems disk mapping are broken but i'm totally sure that i only
changed Memory settings, not touched minidisk settings.
Need your help please.
Regards
