This is almost certainly because zipl-installer just does not check if /boot is mounted on a separate partition and thus the partition referred to in the kernel boot parameters is / instead of /boot. You can work around this in two ways. During the installation ----------------------- Before the system reboots: - start a shell (using a second ssh session to the installer) - chroot /target - make sure /boot is mounted - edit /etc/zipl.conf and correct the dasd that is listed there - run zipl - exit the chroot - finish the installation To repair an existing installation ---------------------------------- - boot the installer and proceed until you can mount partitions (after the dasd initialization step) - start a shell (using a second ssh session to the installer) - mkdir target - mount / - chroot /target - mount /boot - edit /etc/zipl.conf and correct the dasd that is listed there - run zipl - exit the chroot - abort the installation Cheers, Frans Pop -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
