Please ask IBM about this. They can provide working modules on a case by case basis. The samba issue can also be cured by new rpms from http://people.redhat.com/dsainty/, but overall we recommend applying new errata rpms we release from Red Hat, since the kernel patches fix many s390 problems, many s390-specific problems etc. cu, Florian La Roche Florian La Roche Tel.: +49-711-96437-460 head of development EMEA Tel.: +49-172-6373899 Red Hat GmbH Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Hauptstaetterstr. 58 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] D-70178 Stuttgart http://www.redhat.de/ > > 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
