We have recently installed CentOS Linux on our test Linux LPAR. We would
like to migrate it to our production LPAR without having to do a new
install. CentOS is intalled on a single dasd volume. We would like to
- change /etc/modprode.conf
Almoost certainly a change in /boot/grub/grub.conf is needed
as well; wish I could be of more help, but I lack the hardware
system in a different LPAR? I appreciate any suggestions.
We have been speaking with a list member as to the plans for
the CentOS-5 '390 product -- We are in a circumstance where
(while we can build in a Hercules instance) we need access to
some real hardware to make sure deployment matters work as
expected.
Earlier this week, in a CentOS planning conference call with
developers from the UK, Belgium, the US, and .au, we were
brainstorming solving this. Out of that process, and a chat
with a member of this list, we ended up with this present need
statement:
The ancient PCI standalones (2 would be better, if I could
simulate a channel adapter crossover - you mentioned *** as
a knowledgable person to contact, to know who might have
abandoned hardware instances to solicit for donation to the
CentOS project), a warm body [ie, a tester of a trial spin]
for feedback on installs on the real McCoy, and Hercules
emulation are the ways to go -- Getting real access possibly
thru IBM, sounds like it would be a neat fix as well.
This list has people using the prior CentOS products, and as
the core CentOS developers have not had a real ability to
test, the currency of our releases and updates has suffered.
People interested in helping the project can contact me at my
project email:

if they are shy about speaking publicly about possibilities.
