thanks mark.
can you tell me where i can find information on creating a .tdf file?
i had slack390 downloaded, but i thought i'd try marist since i find their
documentation is better.
thanks for the tip on the archives!
perhaps i'll try creating a stand alone dump tape and see if that ipls. at
thanks for the tip. i don't think this is a problem since i know device

Hi,
Is there some reason what that number is important
to you? I've been doing
working with Linux/390 for 4 years now, and I've never much cared.
Depending on what processor type (G5, G6, z990, etc.), it is somewhere
in
the range of 200MHz to 700Mhz, if all you're interested in is clock
speed.
What does the value tell you based on your current program?
Part of the problem will be that the value will change depending upon
what else might be running on the mainframe at the time the measurement
that populates the value is run.

I'll try what you and Gregg suggest. But for what it's worth I have been able to use

It sounds like you have checked all the right things but is the DEVICE defined as

I reread one of your replies and I saw where you had the chpid configured offline from
the other LPAR's so I guess it wouldn't matter if the device weren't defined as shared

What type of application are you making that cares so much about CPU speed?
MIPS. Meaningless Indicator of Processor Speed. There are architectureal
differences between z/series and intel that add a great deal of fuzz to
those numbers, especially in an I/O intensive application.
Anyone know anything about it? I've never been comfortable with previous
versions of Reiser, instead opting for ext3.
Does this have any performance implications for z/series Linux?

Hello.
I've compiled 2.6.8.1 but my linux hangs. Has someone experienced such
problem?

No volume groups found

My current program displays 0. This
is because we are searching for keyword MHz in the /proc/cpuinfo file and
then extracting the value.
But then there seems to be one common
variable i.e BOGOMIPS for both the /proc/cpuinfo files.
We have a standard factor 0.5 available
for Intel pentium
Yeah. But still i want to show some
value which represents the CPU capacity configuration of the machine.
Does /proc/sysinfo throw any useful

Sure it has performance implications using a different file system.
Each file system has its strengths and it really depends on your
workload, which one to use. Ext3 is rock-solid because it is based
on ext3. ReiserFS saves your disk storage because of the disk space
optimization algorithm and the

Well, compared to what you are used to getting on an Intel box, not
really... with the following caveat
Even in LPAR mode, you have other workload affecting the use of the CPU. So
let's say for the sake of argument you have 2 CPU's that represent the
equivalent of 2 750 MHZ processors.

BogoMIPS (Bogus MIPS) are the result of a loop run during kernel
initialization. The value is used to determine timing for certain other
parts of the kernel. The value is determined once and only once during
startup, so in a shared environment such as a mainframe, or when running on
Hercules or

When I run gdm using X-Win32, things just work for me, so I'm not too
concerned about gdm. I do, however, want to understand your xdm problem.
So, if you would run the following command, and send the output to me
off-list, I would appreciate it:

You can still do that. Just SSH into the system, and type:

Let's back up a minute, to make sure we're all talking about the same thing.
Which version of Slack/390 did you install? The (old) 9.1 version, or the

At the point your system hangs, kernel initialization is complete, and init
