Linux for S/390 & zSeries: Please check out the "Restrictions 2.4" DeveloperWorks page at:
http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/restrictions2_4_7.shtml for a newly formulated restrictions on: Large MTU sizes may fail due to "order-N allocation failed" problem On the "Recommended level 2.4.7" page at: http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/current2_4.shtml the 2001-12-12 sections describing the 31-/64-bit OCO-modules have been updated to clarify on HiperSockets support being currently available in LPAR, only, and noting the prereq on future VM-service (PTFs) for HiperSockets support for Linux systems running as VM-guests. Finally, there is a new ***experimental*** DeveloperWorks page at: http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/ special_oco_rh_2.4.shtml where you will find a tar-file containing experimental kernel 2.4.9 OCO-modules that are intended to fit the recent "Red Hat Linux 7.2 S/390" (kernel version 2.4.9-17) distribution - along with a PDF describing how to install these. Some of the steps were only tested rudimentarily, as we did not have much time: Therefore please consider the caveats on using experimental items... This is a one-time effort, ***definitely*** not intended to set a precedent, and implies no commitment that this will be maintained... Please don't expect to hear from us until mid of January or so, when we'll all be back. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
