If they are not ESCON are they defined as reconfigurable? -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robin Murray Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 3:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ipling initial linux tape no, this is the kernal i downloaded from marist. i don't think this is a linux problem, i don't think it's even getting to linux. but i thought perhaps someone else has run across this...

If so, look at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121788 Apparently Red Hat will be putting out an updated s390utils package soon.
