Hi, Robin. I've taken a quick look at the 3270 documentation available here: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/s390/ and it too appears out of date. It mentions rebuilding the kernel with both CONFIG_3270 and CONFIG_3270_CONSOLE options set to y. However, the latest defconfig file does not list CONFIG_3270 and CONFIG_3270_CONSOLE as valid configuration options.
Support for 3270 devices as a Linux console may not have been carried forward to the newer kernels.
I have found various threads about using NED on a 3270 console to zLinux and I thought this was a good idea. I read the 3270 HOWTO on linuxvm.org but it seemed no longer relevant to recent kernels; I am running 2.6.26. I have no tub3270 module so there is nothing under /proc/tty/drivers and so config3270.sh just exits. I had a read of the device drivers manual but am not sure what I need. I have a 3270 defined at 001f which gives me: # ll /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/3270 total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 8 13:37 0.0.001f -> ../../../../devices/css0/0.0.0000/0.0.001f --w------- 1 root root 4096 Aug 8 13:37 bind --w------- 1 root root 4096 Aug 8 13:21 uevent --w------- 1 root root 4096 Aug 8 13:37 unbind but there are no tty devices. What do I do next? TIA -Robin
