Mark: This is not "new news". Starting with the "October 2005" stream (now 2.6.16 kernel), only 64-bit is supported. And yes, that also means that RHEL 5 will be 64-bit only. http://ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/october2005_technical.html Supported Platforms and Environments IBM service and support is available for * IBM System z9 109 (needs to be updated to say z9 BC or EC) * IBM eServer zSeries 990 * IBM eServer zSeries 890 * IBM eServer zSeries 900 * IBM eServer zSeries 800 for Linux on System z9 and zSeries running: * in LPAR * as z/VM guest Starting with the "October 2005 stream" IBM supports only 64-bit distributions; 31-bit applications are supported on the 31-bit emulation layer. Hardware and Software Requirements # Hardware requirements * A System z9 or zSeries configuration with an absolute minimum of 32MB of memory # Software requirements * If you are using Linux as a VM-guest, z/VM Version 5 Release 1 or higher is required Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
