I'm working on it, but I was slowed down by 2 things: 1) it took me a while to get CTC working on 2.4.x because I misread the `chandev` stuff. It works now. Add 'chandev=ctc0,0xA000,0xA001,0,0,0' to your parmline, where A00[01] is the address of your CTC or CTCI connection 2) there's a bug in the Hercules 3390 ECKD DASD support which doesn't get hit by 2.2.x, but which does get hit by 2.4.x at dasdfmt time. 3) It's easiest to IPL from a 3505 RDR containing kernel, parms, initrd insmod and ifconfig ctc0 4) At the moment I'm installing on FBA, which seems to work...
