I experienced this same kind of problem recently.  Had to restore the LIC
and spent about 2 hours
going through each PTF and find its pre- and co-reqs and getting them on so
we could IPL
and have the PTFs that it required be permanenly applied.  It was a mess.

The weird part was the installation "appeared" to have gone fine.  It
warned about the pre-reqs.
Made me do a GO PTF #8 a second time with *NONE as the device to apply the
other
PTFs before the 2nd IPL.  When the IPL was done, no one could sign on,
including the console.
Got a CPF function check message occurred during sign-on processing.

That had IBM scratching their heads because my problem wasn't exactly like
the problems
they had seen before.  So we ended up down the LIC restore route and hours
and hours later
I was finally done at my client.  This was on a small i5 520 with a twinax
console.
