Re: zipl question

Betsie, That was just a test to make sure zipl wasn't picking up parameters from somewhere else. It apparently is not, so you can rename it back. I guess I'd still like to know... are you sure you are booting from the same DASD volume as /boot is on? What does a "df" command show, as well as "c

Re: zipl question

Mark, I renamed /etc/zipl.conf and got an error message telling me that it could not access configuration file /etc/zipl.conf and that a target directory was not specified on the command line or in a config file. I added 'noinitrd' to the parm file but it made no difference. Does this have anythin

Re: zipl question

Betsie, Try renaming /etc/zipl.conf to something else and see what happens when you run the command. Also, are you booting from the same DASD volume as /boot is on? Mark Post -Original Message- From: Betsie Spann [mailto:betsie.spann@;oracle.com] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 3:56 PM

Re: zipl question

'strace zipl.conf' gave me strace: zipl.conf: command not found when I did, "strace /sbin/zipl", I got a display similar to yours. It pointed to /etc/zipl.conf and /boot/parmfile. Both had the same "dasd=" string but neither matched the dasd used in the "Kernel command line" shown at boot time

Re: What distribution?

Dave, I'm in a similar situation to you - just an OS/390 Sysprog trying to figure out this new Linux world. I am putting up DB2 and WebSphere Application Server under this Linux system, for our Java "kids" to test our primary product - which is developed for multi-platform use. I've found that

zipl question

Hi, On SuSE, I force a new zipl parm by /sbin/zipl -c /etc/zipl.conf what is the equivalent in RedHat? The above command doesn't seem to use the /etc/zipl.conf file. Where does the boot process get the kernel command line in RH? Betsie

Re: What distribution?

Dave, New toys are always nice. :) Since you say you're willing to spend a little bit of money, that opens up your choices quite a bit. If I were in that position, I would try out both Red Hat and SuSE. Once you've done that, then you can compare terms and costs of support. The Red Hat GA sof

Re: moving from 2.2 to 2.4

Rich, That's close to a complete system re-install, because it involves upgrading from glibc 2.1.x to glibc 2.2.x, and a number of things on the system are going to be looking for glibc 2.1.x. Having said that, you can try this path (posted previously by Josh Konkol): Upgrade gettext - 0.11.2 Upg
