Yes, that was the quick remedy :-) But in the
The first native run of S/390 Linux outside of IBM was at BMC in
Houston. (And I do mean NATIVE, not LPAR.)
Mike Martin and I were tapped because we both knew S/390 and we both
knew Linux.
The big day ... er, uh ... the big night came when we got native time on
the 600S. We had already IPLed the
And thus was born cio_ignore?

For me the journey started a bit earlier, working on Melinda's system in
Princeton. I told my wife this was significant for
Reading all these emails, especially this one, brings back a lot of
memories. Especially, how we were rushing to get the web site up to
make the "Marist distro" available before Y2K brought the whole world

Greetings Rick Truth,
I will need to chime in here, because this day, December 18, is also my
65th birthday. As some of you may be aware, despite attempting to play
guitar, my only claim to fame is as follows:
I was the first person ever to boot zLinux under IBM VM on an IBM 9672 R24
Here are some birthday-inspired nostalgia:

kernel to boot and getting it to launch a shell by 1998. Then going to

And we were cross-compiling things like glibc, which means using the

And thus started the new future of judicial technology here. Not too long
after, a distro was running (well, sorta walking) on a 9672. Been a blast ever
since.
