I have seen this information twice concerning an additional initrd file containing the IBM OCO files.
First, I would like to thank RH for giving us an alternative to rebuilding the initrd image and the problems that some have had concerning this. I am a novice Linux person any help is greatly appreciated. will IBM developmentworks be placing this OCO module initrd file somewhere for download, the link in the Release notes seems to take me to the standard download page. Is the link http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/download_obj.html suppose to be where the initrd file will be \|/ (. .)

Hello Larry Heath, ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/s390/ contains new images with: - kernel-2.4.9-31.1 - GPL lcs driver for a more Open Source platform thanks to IBM - current s390 patches - would support installation of OCO modules from a second initrd - new installation support with a current anaconda - most updates for 7.2 are already included So this includes all stable updates as well as some goodies, but please keep in mind that this is a totally unsupported "rawhide" version that might just disappear, change unstable, break your hardware etc. Official updates for Red Hat Linux 7.2 mostly done, only the kernel and the new install support need some more time. The above rawhide version should ensure it is tested within enough different setups. > > We've got lots of free coffee! Install "rawhide" and let us know if anything is not working. Thanks, Florian La Roche P.S.: The cvs version of hercules also supports LCS...
