During the Distributions Redbook residency, the team installed SuSE, Red Hat, Turbolinux, and Millenux in an LPAR, under VIF, and under VM. They all worked (at that time). Since then, there have been numerous changes, and I am not aware of anyone that has gone through the same exercise since. Chet's particular problem is due to a bug that was introduced to the IUCV driver after the Redbook testing was done. No chart is ever going to be able to keep that kind of information current.

Possibly also listing what platforms they are known to have been sucessfully installed upon (e.g. under VM/VIF vs bare iron, and on P/390, 390 software emulation, classes of "real" 390 hardware, etc)? Maybe compiler issues? (If memory serves, at least one has a version that will run on older hardware missing some of the newer instructions, if the correct C compiler is used.

You need a kernel with 3215 support to install under VIF. Romney
