Alex, You've almost got it right. s390x is 64 bits, s390 is 31 bits. The latest GA 64-bit release is the 7.1/s390x version. The latest GA 31-bit release is 7.2/s390. When the mirror.html file was updated, it was done incorrectly. All versions were changed to 8.0, even though that doesn't exist in the Linux/390 platform yet.
There is a rawhide version out there for both 64-bit and 31-bit, but you don't want either of those.

Hi all, im downloading Redhat 7.1, but now im not sure about the 64 or 31 bits, im downloading it from: ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/s390x/, in the 7.2 directory i only found s390, and looking at the mirror list (http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html) i see that the directory is /8.0/en/os/s390/, so, s390 is 31 bits and s390x is 64 bits?, 7.1 is the latest release for 64 bits and 8.0 for 31 bits? i only want to install redhat in our new z800 :( Thanks. -- Alejandro Leyva Rabinovich.
