Loren, I'm pretty sure that with a 2.2.16 kernel it's the "SUSE 7" system that actually predated SLES 7 in the s390 world -- might even be the 6.4 "beta", eek! :)

Pre-SLES8 systems used /etc/rc.config to configure everything except routing information. The three files you need to update are: /etc/rc.config /etc/route.conf /etc/hosts There are a couple of others that have to change if the host name changes, but if only the IP address and gateway are changing, these are the ones.
In those early releases, changes to /etc/rc.config don't take effect until after you run "SuSEconfig". I think that SuSEconfig also manages /etc/hosts (but maybe that's just on later releases), so I'd suggest making what changes need to be made in /etc/rc.config, run SuSEconfig, and see what else needs to change. Make sure that *somewhere* you update your default gateway address. I think that's elsewhere in /etc/rc.config, but might be in /etc/ route.conf. You can use the mount-the-copied-disks-to-a-running-system method, but you will need to mount all the copied system's disks -- at the right mount points -- and chroot into the copied system in order to run SuSEconfig. Example: mount /dev/dasdk1 /mnt/copy mount /dev/dasdl1 /mnt/copy/usr mount /dev/dasdm1 /mnt/copy/var chroot /mnt/copy # <-- all file accesses are now from the copied system's disks vi /etc/rc.config SuSEconfig exit # <-- return to your running system umount /mnt/copy/usr /mnt/copy/var /mnt/copy Replace the DASD names with the actual names you get on your system, of course, and don't forget to detach the disks from your running system when you're done.
