RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Since http://dracut.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=dracut/dracut;a=commit;h=3df3a99759a9253113a88fb708c721c282fa7c3c, dracut uses the boot option rd_ZNET instead of rd_CCW to configure s390 network devices for use with a network root file system. This change is already in RHEL6 and should be reflected accordingly in the installation guide. rd_CCW is misleading since also non-network devices such as DASD use channel command words (ccw). rd_CCW was never used in an official release and it should never be used in the future. Actually, we always wanted this specific network config parameter to be called rd_ZNET and this change completes the consistency.

Please simply find & replace the string occurrences of rd_CCW with rd_ZNET. That's all. There are probably two occurrences in the chapter on configuring an installed Linux on System z instance, specifically the section on configuring a System z network device for network root file system.

Thanks IBM
