Re: s390x Install



Larry, you might try using the cio_ignore= kernel option to limit the
number of addresses the  zLinux kernel looks for at boot time. You might
try something like this:

cio_ignore=all,!0.0.1150,!0.0.fd00-0.0.fd02

will ignore at boot time all devices except those at addresses 1150, and
FD00-FD02.

I would put it in the generic parameter file you use at boot time to
load the kernel and initrd files.
