Hi, I'd think there'd be a desire to do proof of concept of multiple zLinux on VM before going to LPARS if a cutomer wasn't quite sure of the benefits. The purist looks to use native VM facilities to enhance and improve what's offered to clients rather than simply manage the imaged. However,

I have been bothered by lack of basic mode for the past couple years. Maybe this is not a problem, since I hear few customers complaining. Rick: Most customers running z900s are already running in LPAR mode. Don't forget that if you have IFLs or ICFs on z900s or z800s you are forced into LPAR

Since the network adapter routines are now open-source, why not just compile them along with your kernel? Supportability. Red Hat has told us that we are unsupported if we even so much as patch our existing kernel, let alone build a new kernel... Interesting. So, they're telling you that

I just noticed that the kerntypes patch does not update /arch/s390/boot/install.sh. As a result, a make install command fails because of a mismatch between what /arch/s390/boot/Makefile generates, and what install.sh expects. Makefile: sh -x ./install.sh $(KERNELRELEASE) $(BOOTIMAGE)
