Richard,

A better description of Red Hat's install package is that it does not
include any of IBM's OCO modules.  As a result, people who want to do an
install that requires one of the OCO modules to get a network connection
have to go through some additional work to make that happen.

The latest installation kernel on the Red Hat site is 2.4.9-37.  There
should be current OCO modules for that available on IBM's DeveloperWorks
site:
http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/special_oco
_rh_2.4.shtml

The RELEASE-NOTES file from Red Hat's FTP server has instructions on how to
get the OCO modules integrated into the installation files.

Hello Ken,


I wanted to run something past you.    I heard RH 7.2 31 bit did not
recognize the OSA card when going through the installation process.    Is
this your understanding.  If so, you can't telnet into it for a console.
I guess IBM has patches for this?   I need 2.4.9-13.4 Kernel OSA patches.
These look a bit old as IBM only appears to have back to 2.4.9-17.

Any info appreciated.
