Be warned - using the GA code, the kernel will oops when you first write to a Samba share. You will want to apply the updates (However, if you apply the updates you will not be able to insmod the qdio/qeth driver, so you must be using a different network driver - hopefully this issue will be resolved soon). GA code is at: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/s390/ Updates are at: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/s390/ Install GA, download all update RPMs to a directory and do "rpm -Fvh *" Then modify zipl.conf to pick up the new kernel # cd /etc # diff zipl.conf zipl.conf.orig 5c5 < image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 --- > image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-17 # zipl reboot. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM [EMAIL PROTECTED] (845) 433-7061
