cio.2b995e <device bus-ID> is not a valid device for the cio_ignore kernel parameter

Explanation

The device specification for the cio_ignore kernel parameter is syntactically incorrect or specifies an unknown device. This device is not excluded from being sensed and analyzed.

User response

Correct your device specification in the kernel parameter line to have the device excluded when you next reboot Linux. You can write the correct device specification to /proc/cio_ignore to add the device to the list of devices to be excluded. This does not immediately make the device inaccessible but the device is ignored if it disappears and later reappears.
