I thought I saw somewhere that RHEL 7 needed an EC12 levelset... I can't find it offhand right now... Anyone else...

I was able to download the two ISO images from rhn.redhat.com. I did not see any documentation on the Web nor on the mounted ISO (perhaps I'm missing it). I tried the following steps, but got errors similar to what others have reported in this forum: Thanks. -Mike M. -) Mount ISO image on an NFS server and export it -) Copy kernel and RAMdisk from images/ directory to CMS disk -) Update parmfile in the images/ directory with new first line: # cat generic.prm ro ramdisk_size=40000 cio_ignore=all,!condev -) Log on to Linux virtual machine -) DEF STOR 1G -) IPL CMS -) run the RHEL7 EXEC - system starts booting: ... 7.280120 systemd-udevd: renamed network interface eth0 to enccw0.0.0600 ... *really, systemd, I will miss the old sysVinit ...
