I was just downloading these this morning.  It looks to me like the
latest SP3 CD images for 64-bit are labeled as follows:


SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD1a.iso  -- e74f074fc81c1d1bb12ff59d9f2541bb
SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD2.iso   -- 9ebbd79d41e46ee3c0f0b4e6997f7319
SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-RC4a-CD3.iso -- 34ddfb7fc16bd5b6fabb4032766300ad

I would really appreciate someone from Novell/SuSE confirming that this
are the latest, and perhaps rename them and put them in one place in the
download area of the website.

What are the correct file names and md5sums for SLES9 SP3, s390 and
s390x? Can someone from SuSE please clarify?  Pretty please?

I want to support the mksles9root.sh script for the community. But it's
tough when the CD names are hard coded in the script and they're a
moving target in the field.

And if I do get someone's attention at SuSE, could you also look at the
issue of the patch CD update with SP3 (and SP2 also I believe).  I feel
there is a bug. When an install tree is built with the SP3 CDs and you
point to it via yast => "Patch CD Update", there is a mediamap file that
lists the RPMs and the CDs that they are on.  All of the RPMs from CD1
will be applied, then the process stops and you are prompted for CD2.
On s390[x] you can't insert CD2 and without some trickery, there is no
way to continue.  The mksles9root.sh script currently works around this
by copying all the RPMs to the same directory and changing all values to
CD1. This hack seems to work, but it's ugly.  I opened a bugzilla bug on
this (don't have the number handy), but never got an email reply on it
like I usually do.

Thanks.
