Re: Link Loader Failure and B600 0901 after v5r2 cume install

David, As I recall in V5R2 there were special instruction when applying the last CUMe CD's

In order to prevent the link loader error you hade to load some PTF's BEFORE loading/applying the remainder of the CUMe/HIPER/DB.

Read your instructions that came wit hte PTF's or find there here:

3. STEPs 3 through 5 will assist you in ensuring PTF 5722999-MF35829
a superseding PTF is on your system before proceeding. If it is not
on your system, you will be instructed to load and apply PTF
5722999-MF35829 in a later step. This PTF requires an IPL to apply,
and automatically applies itself permanently during the IPL.

Good luck,

I have a small 170 (a 2289 - a P05...). It's one of my development
boxes, running v5r2 until one of the drives died. Bought a replacement
drive, did a scratch install of v5r2 (always good practice once in a
while... :) .

Applied the latest cume and groups I had laying around, dated Nov 2004.
Good as new. I took a full system backup, bootable tape.

I then ordered the latest cume (it arrived yesterday) and groups for
v5r2. I loaded them just like always - groups/hipers/cume. When
rebooting to apply them (B side), the dreaded yellow light came on.
B6000901. Now, I can boot to the A side but not the B side. The
history log says the 'link loader' failed. Then one of the LIC ptfs
fails to apply (MF30209), but I think that's caused by the link loader
thing, not the ptf itself. I tried removing MF30209, but that won't
work. I tried removing all the PTFs for 5722999 but that won't work. I
tried rebuilding the LIC from DST, but got the complaint about the link
loader not being happy.
