In order to enable the 3270 console support do I need to update the config options to enable 3270 console support and disable 3215 console support. After that maybe you could give me some step by step instructions for rebuilding the kernel????
Don't disable 3215 support! Just enable 3270 support as well (it's pretty clearly marked in the kernel choices menu), and then append "conmode=3270" to zipl.conf before you rerun zipl.
This is actually a perfect application for the boot menu stuff in the most recent s390-tools; my Sargedev machine has two targets, "3215" and "3270", whose parmlines differ by "conmode=3215" or "conmode=3270", and I can select between them at IPL.
I don't know if there are any specific tricks for rebuilding the kernel on Slackware. In the general case, you do a "make menuconfig && make dep && make && make modules && make install && make modules_install".
I haven't actually done that in a long time, because Debian offers some additional tools for kernel packaging, so I really run "make-kpkg" with some other options.
