Re: Kernel versioning (was Re: LCS drivers for 2.4.9 ?)

This is not merely a documentation string! Also, who says that a module built for 2.4.9 won't work with 2.4.9-4GB? What patches are these that warrant changing the label?? The good thing with the dash-level in the kernel IMHO is that you keep the old set of kernel modules, and you can

Let's say you ran a large, profitable company like IBM. Software revenues around $12 billion. You're risking a lot in supporting something like Linux. OTOH - IBM achieved its utter dominance of the industry in the late 1960s using a public domain operating system. Contrary to popular

Rather, QDIO is a hardware feature, for which IBM does not publish the programming interface. The interface is unique to IBM S/390. And it is used by more OS's than just Linux. Publishing the interface for Linux also publishes the interface for all other OS. ISTR Amdahl paid a great deal of

Mark, I thought IBM's OCO modules were only for OSA card support, and were not needed for the MP3000, which uses plain OS/2 TCP/IP using standard PC Ethernet cards. Are you sure about that? I didn't need to add anything for SuSE 7.0, SLES1 and SLES7 to work. Is there a URL to get the IBM OCO

Thanks for your help, Mark. The problem actually was with the window manager I was using. When I used the MixServer from MicroImages, the tkCVS application came up but none of the letters were legible. Once I tried with CYGWIN X-windows and Linux/390's twm, I am getting the tkCVS windows clearly.

Jim, Absolutely. You can define virtual CTCs or IUCV links between your new guest and either the VM TCP/IP stack, or the SuSE guest. You'll need to be careful about assigning IP addresses and the associated routing. There's been a ton of discussion on the mailing list about that, and both

Mark, I'm not giving up on the OCO modules, but there is not enough time left this year to obtain the GA Red Hat, obtain a PC and install x86 Red Hat 7.2, download the required new 2.4.9-17 kernel, follow the PDF installation procedure to merge in the OCO, and, finally, complete the MP3000

Jim, Getting the Red Hat GA isn't much. There are some files that are different from the RC2, but you can figure those out and only download them. You don't need an x86 Linux, you have your SuSE system on the same box. Use that instead. The 2.4.9-17 kernel is part of the GA code, so that's
