Linux for S/390 & zSeries:

Please check out our DeveloperWorks page at:

http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/whatsnew.shtml

We are releasing recommended kernel 2.4.17 patches and OCO-modules, as well
as
patches for the "new" gcc 3.1-based tool-chain and the other packages
required
to build the base for a Linux for zSeries and S/390 distribution at:

http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/current2_4_17-may2002.shtml
Hopefully, the "System Build Cross Reference" for the "May 2002 stream"
satisfies your requirements - or at least makes your work a little easier.

We are calling this the "May 2002 stream" to differentiate it from the
already
recommended kernel 2.4.7 and 2.4.17 streams (which were tested with the
"old"
gcc 2.95.3-based tool-chain, and do not have the new functionality - like
z900
hardware support) and also from the 2002-04-30 experimental 2.4.17-nf
(which is replaced by today's drop).

We are providing documentation for the "May 2002 stream" at:

http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/documentation-2.4.17-may2002.shtml
where the new functions are described.  The previously separate versions
(S/390 31-bit and zSeries 64-bit) of the manuals are available in merged
form for the "May 2002 stream".

On the new Experimental "May 2002 stream" page at:

http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/exp-2_4_17-may2002.shtml
you will find the still experimental z90crypt OCO-module.

For Restrictions see;

Furthermore, several kernel 2.4.7 and kernel 2.4.17 pages have been
reworked,
updated, and/or corrected.

Happy downloading!
