I downloaded sometime last week, and got the GM files. I also found all six files linked from the same page. Are you getting files from SuSE or from Novell?
I went to www.novell.com and logged in. I went to the Knowledgebase and searched for SLES 9 SP3. I found and selected "Release Notes for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 for zSeries Service Pack 3". At the bottom (*way* at the bottom, under "links to download packages" I selected "* SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 for IBM zSeries 64bit (s390x) (most recent package)". After passing through one additional page, I come to a download list which looks like the following: SLES-9-SP-3-s390-GM-CD1.iso 519.3 MB (544542720) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390-GM-CD2.iso 589.0 MB (617662464) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390-GM-CD3.iso 633.0 MB (663846912) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD1.iso 572.8 MB (600645632) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD2.iso 624.0 MB (654403584) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD3.iso 631.3 MB (662065152) download I downloaded all six of these files, and tested the s390x set. I just checked, and these six files are still there and available, so I don't know where the RC4a files are coming from. If you're using a different method or website to get your maintenance, I'd be interested in finding out what you're using... (Not that I'm going to switch; as I said, I'm just "interested".) -- Robert P.

You changed the script from using RC4a to GM. Perhaps different people, downloading different ways, are getting different names?
