I updated a SLES 10 system on a z/VM 5.1 system to SP1, and now it fails stops in the same place. That system doesn't get IPL'ed very often (I think it has been over 2 years since the last scheduled one) so it has remained on 5.1. I presume that there is a VM APAR that I need, but the solution fo

Hi, My EXEC looks the same and I transferred the vmrdr & initrd as binary and the parmfile as ascii. In fact, I did it twice just to be sure I didn't mess it up. I'm now in the process or re-downloading SLES-10-SP1-s390x-CD1.iso just to be sure nothing happened during that massive download. d

I think (not thoroughly tested, so not sure) it depends on the path thru the installer (network choice, install source etc) you take. I know we didn't get it done with 512M, so went to 768M and that worked. Best regards, Pieter Harder [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel +31-73-6837133 / +31-6-47272537 >
