Step 1321-26
If you performed substep 3 of “Step 1321-24” on page 90 for the current Linux partition, go to “Step
1321-27”, and when asked in “Step 1321-27”, do not record any RTAS messages from “Step 1321-26” for
the current Linux partition.
Examine the Linux boot (IPL) log by logging in to the system as the root user and entering the following
command:
cat /var/log/boot.msg |grep RTAS |more
Linux boot (IPL) error messages are logged into the boot.msg file under /var/log. The following is an
example of the Linux boot error log.

Step 1321-27
Record any RTAS messages found in the Linux boot (IPL) log in Step 1321-26. Ignore all other messages
in the Linux boot (IPL) log. If the system is configured with more than one logical partition with Linux
installed, repeat “Step 1321-26” and “Step 1321-27” for all logical partitions that have Linux installed.
