Subject: RHEL 6.3 (non-)install on z/VM 6.2 at RSU6203
Hi, All,
Trying to install RHEL 6.3 on z/VM 6.2 at service level 1301 (RSU6203). About
midway through configuring the DASD in the VNC session, the installation
program goes into a "death spiral", aka "hard spin", aka 100% cpu loop. We did
not have that problem on the other CEC, where we installed RHEL 6.3 on z/VM at
service level 1101 (RSU6201). Both CECs have a single IFL on which z/VM is
running; no GP CPUs in the z/VM LPARs on either machine. Both CECs are z114s.
Any suggestions what to do besides "give up"?
TIA,
-jc-
