Just curious, what leads you to believe it's the CMS parameter file? (Thanks for the documentation references, I have been reviewing them.

It looks like incorrect parameters in the CMS parameter file. Since ClefOS is based on RHEL, I would recommend reading the RHEL installation guide: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/part-installation-system-z.html <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/part-installation-system-z.html> Especially this section might be useful: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-installer-booting-ipl-s390.html#sect-customizing-generic-prm-s390 <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-installer-booting-ipl-s390.html#sect-customizing-generic-prm-s390> Regards, Jan On 02/22/2016 04:38 PM, Frank M.
