My ignorance overflows.. When I look on my INTEL LINUX I can find grub.cfg in boot/grub2 but I cannot find it in the zLINUX.
ls /boot bootmap symvers-2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.s390x.gz config-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x System.map-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x config-2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.s390x System.map-2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.s390x grub tape0 initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x.img vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x symvers-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x.gz vmlinuz-2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.s390x [root@tom129 /]# ls /boot/grub ls /boot/grub splash.xpm.gz Two additional points: 1) I'll post my XCAT experience as best I can remember, but probably not until I return from the holiday break in January. 2) I wrote up the little exec (pipe trackread) I had mentioned to compare raw dasd tracks but I couldn't determine the problem because there were too many differences.. But if anyone would like the exec I can post it here.. Someone may have a use for it.
