Terry, 

The thought that pops instantly to mind is 'code pages'.  But I would presume 
that all these transfers were in binary...

Ok. I got a z/VM MD5 checksum from Dave. We ran it against the INITRD IMG and 
KERNEL IMG files and sure enough they did not match the MD5 value that was sent 
with the RHEL ISO for these two files. So the assumption is corrupted files. 
The files we downloaded from the HTTP source server to our workstation are 
good. We ran a MD5 checksum on those and they match.

Our initial load of these files from our workstation down to z/VM was via the 
PCOMM terminal emulator SEND/RECEIVE.  We MD5 checked these files and they 
don't match.

So since we have some security issues at this shop currently using FTPSERVE we 
tried using FTP to move the files from our workstation to z/OS and then FTP 
from z/OS to z/VM. Note using FTP all the way through.

We than did another MD5 checksum on the files on z/VM and they still don't 
match. So it looks like something is happening to the files on transfer to z/VM.

Any help or ideas?

Thanks,

Terry
