AIX and iOS (nee OS/400) run on Power hardware and can run under PowerVM. z/VM only allows for z architecture systems to run. I guess if you could write a Power ISA emulator,it might be possible to run them. But getting a license is a whole 'nother question. Linux on Power also runs under Power

Thanks. A question to the z/VM folks, what would cause the device to go into that state and is it something that EREP would record? There is a missing interrupt message on the operator console that corresponds to one instance of the problem but not to any of the others. >> SCHIB DEV INT-PARM ISC
