I don't think this is the only way to do it. There is a conmode= option for the kernel that you can set to 3270, 3215 or HWC. I'm unable to spot the default, but it does seem to build on whether you run in a virtual machine, on a P390, and what has been configured in. The obvious conclusion I would have is that Turbo have removed the 3215 support rather than additionally included 3270. Your recipe may lead to something with no console support at all. Rob
