This is where distributors make their money. I spent a week configuring and recompiling theSLES7 kernel to include NO-100Hz-Support, only to find that the OCO's supplied by IBM don't support SMP. IBM instructed me to get the RPM's from SuSE. They installed in about 2 minutes.
Linux-2-4.7-timer-4 is the one you want as well as all prerequisite patches The order should be: * linux-2.4.7.tar.gz (original kernel source) + linux-2.4.7-s390.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-1.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-2.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-3.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-4.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-5.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-6-lcs.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-7.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-timer-4.diff (IBM) As well as recommended OCO modules dated 2002/30/01 I have the RPM's if you'd like, and don't believe there are any issues as far as redistributing them. There are 2, one is for timer patch the other is the OCO's. James McPhillips System Programmer Computer Associates,inc. ticed that there are several releases of the timer patch at http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/current2_4_7.shtml Given that I'm running the SLES 7 2.4.7 level kernel which one do I want, or does it matter? thx -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.
