And I remember the legendary Install Fest parties we had with clients in
groups of 10-15 and eventually doing 1:1 calls. I wrote the I/O layer at
that time and was overwhelmed when people booted (IPLed) Linux into OS/390
partitions with 10s of thousands of I/O devices defined/attached. In order
for not having to allocate so much static memory I first limited the number
of addressable devices to 1024, following the VSE/ESA model, and only when
clients wanted more (many did start with Linux in LPAR and only partitions
configured for OS/390 at hand) I back-ported dynamic boot memory allocation
back from the 2.3 kernel to 2.2, still avoiding large memory allocations
when all a client wanted to operate where just a handful of devices ...

I’m sure there were more than a few of us installing the ‘Marist’
distribution on our mainframes over Christmas.
I know I was working on the install at Grede Foundries.
