Boot data

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

To boot Linux®, you generally need a kernel image, boot loader code, kernel parameters, and an initial RAM disk image.

For the z/VM® reader, as a sequential I/O boot device, the order in which this data is provided is significant. For random access devices there is no required order.

On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5, kernel images are installed into the /boot directory and are named image-<version>. For information about where to find the images and how to start an installation, see SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 Deployment Guide.
