Hmm. If we only consider the kernel, and not Ila's concerns about his other packages, I was able to create a bootable 2.4.19 kernel from my current SuSE 2.2.16 system. It did involve re-compiling a bunch of other packages (twice, because of the change in the S/390 ELF magic number), but I managed it. Lots of other stuff comes into play, though, since the glibc 2.2.5 package depends on a "new" one called filesystem, which depends on...

The reqs on 2.4 are that you upgrade so many utilites (i.e. glibc, binutils, modutils, etc) that you run into so many little problems. With the patches from developerworks I was able to ALMOST get it to work but in the end I ended up with a non-bootable kernel. My conclusion was there is no reasonable way to upgrade the kernel. The response I got back from SuSE was that there is NO upgrade path. Hope someone can prove me wrong, I would rather upgrade!!

I am running apache and tomcat. I would like to upgrade the kernel to SuSE 2.4.xx. Is it possible to upgrade my system without disturbing apache and tomcat? Is there documentation on how to do this? Can I use YAST and the CD images for 2.4? Or, do I need to download the source and do make and installs? I have tried both ways and it doesn't seem to work. I could install 2.4 from the CD images the same way I installed 2.2.16, but that would destroy the changes I have implemented into apache and tomcat. Ila Z.
