Tommy, I am including off-list the install PDF that is on the first CD in
the docs directory(as I recall).
I forgot to ask what is the status using the WRKNWSD
(See attached file: sles-inst-ipseries_en.pdf)

if you go to STRSST and look at the partition status what do you see??
Wow, nifty command. I see the following. Hope this doesn't get warped.
(original is 80 coloums, but your newsreader may wrap at 72/74--reformat as
necessary)
"""
27800850 Display Partition Status
System:
LIVWMID
Partition IPL IPL Sys IPL Reference
Identifier Name Source Mode State Action Codes
2 LIVWMID B Normal On Hold
4 LINUX01 C Manual Off Hold
[...several lines of blank space]
F3=Exit F5=Refresh
F9=Include reference code detail F10=Monitor partition status
F11=Display partition processing configuration F12=Cancel
"""
Does that help?
