Actually, a 100 Hz timer seems to work. Then I hang because I didn't load the DASD driver, but I think that's very likely just a problem with my generated RAMDISK. So my recommendation would be to use a 100Hz timer pop for s390 31-bit at least. I wonder if this has anything to do with

I've tried with the 1/19 nightly build. I got slightly farther once, in that the last message was that I had one configured and no standby CPUs, but I'm still getting the hang. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
