Linux/390 doesn't use grub, unfortunately. That would simplify a lot of things if it could be made to work.
This won't be the first time I've said this to someone from CentOS, but I'll say it again. If you want access to real mainframe hardware, you have two choices: IBM's Linux Community system, or the OSDL. I have systems at both for development of Slack/390. Both groups (IBM and Marist College) are very nice and easy to work with. Both have an absolute minimum of system interruptions.

I appreciate any suggestions. We have been speaking with a list member as to the plans for the CentOS-5 '390 product -- We are in a circumstance where (while we can build in a Hercules instance) we need access to some real hardware to make sure deployment matters work as expected. Earlier this week, in a CentOS planning conference call with developers from the UK, Belgium, the US, and .au, we were brainstorming solving this. Out of that process, and a chat with a member of this list, we ended up with this present need statement: > The ancient PCI standalones (2 would be better, if I could simulate a > channel adapter crossover - you mentioned *** as a knowledgable person > to contact, to know who might have abandoned hardware instances to > solicit for donation to the CentOS project), a warm body [ie, a tester > of a trial spin] for feedback on installs on the real McCoy, and > Hercules emulation are the ways to go -- Getting real access possibly > thru IBM, sounds like it would be a neat fix as well. This list has people using the prior CentOS products, and as the core CentOS developers have not had a real ability to test, the currency of our releases and updates has suffered. People interested in helping the project can contact me at my project email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], or my personal email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] if they are shy about speaking publicly about possibilities. -- Russ Herrold (centos developer) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
