- Description:
- dbginfo.sh: Collect more debug data.

- Description:
- dasdinfo: Wrong uid in some special cases.

- Description:
- zfcpdump: No progress messages without SCLP console.
- Symptom:
- During the dump process no progress messages are written to the operator console.
- Problem:
- If a system has another default console type than SCLP, this console device is disabled by the zfcpdump code using the cio_ignore kernel parameter. Therefore no messages are written any more.
- Solution:
- Do not disable the console device.

- Description:
- zipl: dump_mem parameter can not be set for SCSI dump.
- Symptom:
- When preparing a SCSI dump disk without additional parameters, the optional memory parameter is always ignored.
- Problem:
- The memory parameter is not added to the kernel parameter line, if no additional kernel parameters have been specified.
- Solution:
- Add memory parameter in every case.
- Problem-ID:

- Description:
- zipl: boot menu uses wrong conversion table for input on LPAR.
- Symptom:
- When specifying extra kernel parameters via the boot menu on LPAR, characters like [, ], |, !, ^ are incorrectly converted and may lead to invalid kernel parameters (e.g. cio_ignore=all,!0.0.1000).
- Problem:
- zipl does not differentiate between z/VM console (EBCDIC 037) and LPAR (EBCDIC 500) when converting EBCDIC user input.
- Solution:
- Use EBCDIC 500 conversion table on LPAR.
