From Mike Reddy...
A couple of questions first: What changed? Are we using an Image profile
to activate the lpar, or just a LOAD profile?
A load profile has a pre-determined load address and parm specified. We
don't use them here because we change sysres's every time almost.
An image profile defines the lpar storage, weight, cpu, etc, and
includes an OPTIONAL load screen to automatically IPL the lpar to a
pre-determined address. We don't use that option either.
Double click exact icon that is being ACTIVATED for the system to IPL
(it may be a grouping and not that actual image icon) and look at the
top for the assigned profile
Then click Change options to view that profile and look for the LOAD
tab that shows the predetermined load address. If it is in fact zero,
the HMC is doing what it was told to do.
Starting this week I am now experiencing HMC failures IPL'ing my z/OS
systems. My load profiles look correct, but I now receive an error
stating The load address is not configured in the partition and
displays a load address of . The IPL parm looks correct, just the
LOAD address is . This occurs when I do an activate to the LOAD
profile. The IPL is successful if I do a manual LOAD. I see this error
using two different HMCs at different code levels. I am experiencing
this on 2 different processors.
Anyone sees something like this before? I have a hard time believing it
is a HMC bug as it has been operating many months before with no
problem.

I have done exactly as you said. We do not use image profiles to IPL, just
to setup the LPARs, we strictly use LOAD profiles to IPL. The LOAD profile
has an IPL Address and an IPL Parm as I expect it should. But when this
Profile is actually ACTIVATED, it comes back flagging a Load address of
, but it does show the valid IPL Parm. Double clicking on the LPAR
does show the LOAD profile I expect to be ACTIVATED.
I have passed this problem on to IBM and they are chewing on the HMC logs.
