It "should" only if the z9 isn't configured with new chpid types or memory
configurations that sles8 doesn't understand.  You note that we always
have compatibility PTFs for z/VM when a new processor appears.

Novell is saying that they aren't going to provide support under the terms
of your support contract for that configuration.  It has nothing to do
with the ability to run sles8 on a z9.

But that's always the issue.  If you don't have a Linux support contract,
it really doesn't matter what anyone else says.  :-)
