Good evening, Thanks for your help. I was able continue the 31H installation at the Post load of install files. Unfortunately, the install failed because the install could not start sap to run the reports. The logs specify two types of errors, one is a swapspace error, RESIZE_EM_ALLOC_ERROR. The second error is a Kernel program error, which the notes say is fixed with a higher patch level preferably a 3.1I kernel upgrade. My question is can I upgrade the kernel before the install is successfully completed? I am using a 3.1H install kit for a V4R4M0 as/400 and I am using kernel CD R31H7042 which is supposed to replace R31H7022. Thanks again for all your help.
