I just ran a little experiment. I took the Red Hat 2.4.20 kernel SRPM and looked to see just how many of the IBM patches from developerWorks for 2.4.19 were included. The answer was "not enough." Sigh. There was a whole bunch of stuff from 2.5 included, but apparently the IBM patches haven't been fully integrated into the official tree.

I've built 2.4.21rc7-ac for S/390 (took a little while on Hercules 8)) so the core stuff is now synced with -ac and I hope for 2.4.22pre with Marcelo's base tree. Building a new kernel rpm from a source tree isn't too hard, although you need to know what is in the kernel to know which patches to add, which makes it less trivial to deal with. Alan
