Brent, 

Thank you very much for replying.

I think you pointed out my problem.    "zipl.conf"  specifies  "console=hvc0"   
1st,  2nd is   "console=ttyS0" .
I was curious as to what was being run in that particular run mode.  My  
zipl.conf:

        hvc_iucv=2  console=hvc0  console=ttyS0  hvc_iucv_allow=linux1,linuxtst

Can I confirm coding of your  "upstart" job? 
         "start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]"   is correct, no  "S"


start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [S016]
respawn
exec /sbin/agetty -L 9600 hvc0 xterm

Thanks again

Joe

Subject: Re: Problem using IUCVCONN in single user mode

To get our IUCV console working in Single User Mode, our upstart job looks like 
this:

# This service maintains two agetty sessions on /dev/hvc0

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [S016]
respawn
exec /sbin/agetty -L 9600 hvc0 xterm

I believe the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit should be directing console traffic in 
runlevels S and 1 as long as your kernel parameters specify console=hvc0 AFTER 
console=ttyS0. Order is important, the second console statement is your primary 
console, and in runlevels S and 1, you can only have one console.

Hope this helps,
Brent
