Support knowledgebase (iseries_kernel)

Request:

How can I install a new kernel to A, B or *NWSSTG?

Procedure:

You can install a kernel to slot A, B or *NWSSTG by executing the following command:

dd if=<your kernel here> of=/proc/iSeries/mf/A/vmlinux bs=4096

Note that you can change "A" to "B" in the previous command to install to the B slot and if you want to install to *NWSSTG you would change the following "of=/dev/hdaX" where X is the partition number of your PReP boot partition.

You can also put command line parameters into slot A and B using:

echo "your command line here" > /proc/iSeries/mf/<A or B>/cmdline
