Make sure your initrd has the DIAG support module being loaded at IPL time. If you want to make your life a little easier, make sure to remove the FBA module. Then you won't need to play games with kernel parms, etc. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL P

Peter, > I need to create this links manually. Do I create them in the sles9root directory? Yes. For example, on an SP2 system created in the directory /sles9root: # cd /sles9root # ln -s sp2-9/CD1/driverupdate # ln -s sp2-9/CD1/linux (An ln -s command with just one arg will use the same file/dir

David's response about firewall rules is definitely worth looking into, particularly since the IP address of your Linux/390 guest is different from any of the other systems you've tried to reach the FTP server with. The second note is that the path to the installation files on your FTP server _

Trouble setting DIAG on 3390 device(SuSE SLES 9)

2005-08-01 Thread John Kaba
I have compiled DIAG in the kernel, and have modified ZIPL with the 'dasd=300,301(diag)' statement, and system would not boot. It gave me some message about not finding 301 or something like that. Anyway I took the 'dasd' statement out, and rebooted. I then try to manually switch dasd 301 offline

Well in a z/OS environment are you likely to get ebcdic/ascii translation issues either on the copy to z/OS from source files of from z/OS to target image? Does the SLES9 FTP installer pull everythign binary? I can say I'd be worried about the copy process to/from z/os not z/os in and of itself, j
