Still having issues.  I have upgraded both the terminal server and test guest 
to SLES 12 SP4 which gives a s390tools version of 2.1 or so.  Our requirements 
are to be able to view the console log during shutdown and startup since we no 
longer have access to a 3270 console or HMC.  If you have this working what are 
your grub parms or terminal server setup.  For the terminal server, the only 
changes I made are to define the guests to be monitored and a password.  I can 
get to the logon prompt or emergency repair prompt but the console display 
keeps disconnecting with only a few messages displayed.  Here is /proc/cmdline

root=UUID=ad5a0c5a-1372-474b-97a6-a07ba754a36a hvc_iucv=2 showopts TERM=dumb 
crashkernel=102M console=ttyS0 console=hvc0

Do these look correct?  Anyone using something different that works?

There are a number of things that might be going here, but it's hard to
tell. One thing is that the cookbook shows "ssh -t" and not just "ssh".
The -t forces allocation of a pseudo-terminal, which might be necessary
here.

I looked back through my old emails, and the problem that I vaguely
remembered was from SLES11, and a kernel change was needed to fix it.
I'm pretty certain that's not the problem you're experiencing. ;)
