Ah, yes. The first model in its class to use silicon memory chips rather than a magnetic core. Nice. Unfortunately, do think you might have some trouble booting the kernel; if you want to backport on the assembly code under the arch/s390 directory, you might have a prayer of getting it to work. There *is* a gcc370. You should probably get in touch with Moshe Bar to see if he's made any progress on the Linux on the s370 project: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development.system/browse_thread/thread/676cbd17a1e64a7b/50593f935e70ce0a?lnk=st&rnum=10&hl=en#50593f935e70ce0a You might have to go with a scaled-back 2.0 or 2.2 kernel, since the memory is limited to 512k in the model 145. Good luck, Mike .___________________________________________________________________. Michael A.
