Subject: [S390] Misaligned wait PSW at memory detection.
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 15:54:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061204145433.GT32059@skybase> (raw)

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

[S390] Misaligned wait PSW at memory detection.

If the memory detection code would ever reach the point where it would
load the wait psw, it would generate a specification exception and the
system would crash at ipl time. This is because of a misaligned wait
psw. It needs to be on a double word boundary instead of a word
boundary.
