Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 147113] chzdev: Disable root device update mechanism
From: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Description:  chzdev: Disable root device update mechanism
Symptom:      chzdev reports problems updating /etc/zipl.conf and running
              zipl.
Problem:      When chzdev changes the root device persistent configuration,
              it performs additional steps to ensure that these changes are
              correctly applied. Example for such steps are: updating the
              initial RAM disk, modifying the zipl.conf configuration file
              and running zipl. As these steps are incompatible with the target
              distribution, they fail.
Solution:     Suppress chzdev's root device update mechanism.
Reproduction: chzdev --enable --persistent --by-path /
