It should work. The option is there in "make menuconfig" Character device drivers ---> Support for locally attached 3270 tubes
The HOWTO on rebuilding a kernel is available on The Linux Documentation Project web site: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/index.html According to that page, the document is being re-written, and is available here: http://www.digitalhermit.com/~kwan/kernel.html There will likely be some Linux/390-specific questions you'll need to ask here, but most of what you need to know will be covered.

Rebuild the kernel, and enable 3270 console support I've never ever done that, and this is the really crusty/dusty original 7.2 distro. We have not recieved the SLES 8 and SP/3 yet.... will it even work? If there exists a how to on how to rebuild the Kernel I can probably make that work. Still major scary weeds for me.

He's asked me to test communication to the existing linux LPARS. The devices were dynamically added to the LPAR config today. How does one go about making a 2074 console device become the Linux Console? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
