Step 1321-23
Is Linux usable in any partition with Linux installed?
No Go to "Step 1321-30" on page 67.
Yes Go to "Step 1321-24."
Attention: "Step 1321-24" through "Step 1321-36" on page 68 must be performed on a partition running
the Linux operating system.
Step 1321-24
If your system is functional, examine the Linux system log by logging in to the system as the root user and
entering the following command:
cat /var/log/messages |grep RTAS |more
Linux run-time error messages are logged in the messages file under /var/log. The following is an
example of the Linux system error log.

Step 1321-25
Record any RTAS messages found in the Linux system log in Step 1321-24. Ignore all other messages in
the Linux system log. If the system is configured with more than one logical partition with Linux installed,
repeat "Step 1321-24" and "Step 1321-25" for all logical partitions that have Linux installed.
