Well that is the ever present risk of Open Source. Whatever this kernel change
is, it screwed up other things in our environment as well.
We have noted that there is a Kernel update from 6.7 to 6.8. We are not going
down that road until there is some assurance that the sentinel software and
some other things that we use won't fail with this update as well.
Cheers,

John.
Our co figuration is much like yours on a single server. It take about 30
minutes to install centos and zpdt. The mainframe is on different disks so
nothing was lost.
My concern is the ability of the vendor to fix the problem. It is unblievable
that it takes more than a month so far.

If you cannot back out the recent updates that caused you to end up with this
problem, re-install the version RHEL that last worked. This assumes that you
have used the practice of making sure that none of you zPDT stuff is in
distribution directories. We have a much more complex zPDT environment than
most but my main tech had the environment back up in about
8 hours without loss of anything in zPDT, z/VM, multiple z/OS Guests and zLinux
guests. The recovery had to be done on 2 full zPDT systems for reasons outside
of this discussion.

Elardus,
zPDT is a mainframe emulation product from IBM that we use. the driving system
is an enterprise Linux flavor. Linux clients that updated the version for some
reason, can't access the license server. versions involved are rhel 7.X, but I
think suse as well. we use a memory stick to hold the license.
And, yes, this is a hit.
