That's interesting. Since it's so hard to get connected to the official Red Hat server, I wasn't able to tell if it's there or not. It doesn't show up on a lot of the Red Hat mirrors. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Vic Cross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003

Eric, There are no Linux/390 distributions that include the CLAW driver in the installation starter files (yet), so that isn't an option. Yes, you can hook two ESCON channels together to get a communication path going. It's a _little_ more involved that what you said, but not a lot. You need to

Well, I've looked in the source code for Hercules/390 again. It appears that the B220 (SERVC) instruction, which is undocumented anywhere that I can find, returns the Service Call Control Block. One of the fields in the SCCB, mapped by the IHASCCB macro in z/OS, is a byte field labelled SCCBRCC.

Yes, that's correct. The z900 uses the same processor chip as the z800, but it's clocked faster and better packaged. Rather than better packaged let us say packaged differently. The z900 use a closed loop cooling system while z800 is air cooled. Running the z900 module close to 0c allows us to

I have two machines running the 2.4.19 SLES 8 kernel. When I put 0 into hz_timer, I can see the utilization drop off the radar. When set to 1, it is at the usual .3% (on a MP3000, G5). According to ESAMON, the machines sit in Q3 58% of the time. On Thursday 06 March 2003 08:34 pm, you wrote:
