Hi Paul. To answer your questions:
The rpm you will most likely need is this: kernel-2.4.9-38.s390.rpm and install is as described on the errata webpage: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-198.html It is important however to follow the steps that are listed on the IBM OCO pages if you are using them, otherwise you might not be able to connect to your Linux system anymore. Hope this helps, Read ya, Phil PS: Also remember to edit and modify /etc/zipl.conf to point to the new kernel (change the 17 to 38 should be sufficient), save the changes and rerun zipl. If you don't do this, then the system most likely won't boot either as the bootloader will look for a kernel image that doesn't exist anymore. paultz wrote: > I was asked today to install Java on my Linux 7.2 2.4.9-17 system.
