Check the level of the code. If Ubuntu is like the RHEL 7 and SLES 12 then they support z196 and above. This requires a certain level of the zPDT code. I don't have the number handy bur check your local guides. Original message From: Tito Garrido Date:

Do you have other Linux guests on the zPDT? If so, what does /proc/cpuinfo report? The output of STFLE is interpreted and the facilities shown. From that, it should be easy to deduce if you have the equivalent of z12 support in the “hardware”. Neale On 4/4/16, 11:51 AM, "Linux on 390 Port on

The kernel is looking for the following bit settings in the output of the STFLE instruction: c100eff2 f46ce800 0040 What do you see if you IPL with #CP TR STFLE (find where it is storing the facilities and compare to the bit settings above). Neale

It wasn't a fix, it was an observation that what the kernel wanted to see in the facilities list didn't match what was available. Have a look at the kernel source in arch/s390/head.S If you fooled around with the stfle output then you'll end up crashing when the kernel uses one of the

They are from the official repo with a few extra packages from us. In general the only hooks we had to create were to add s390x to ExclusiveArch statements and to force it to use golang instead of gcc-go. There are a few mock —install hooks as not all BuildRequires are complete. On 2/15/17, 9:43
