Ok, I got things working on my hercules system, but I'm not sure it's going to satisfy you. From what I can tell, you can't get a 3270 effect on the actual hercules console. You have to use a TN3270 connection to the TCP/IP port specified by CNSLPORT. The kernel that comes pre-SP1 does _not_ compile the 3270 support into the kernel, but as modules. This gets fixed later on, as I indicated previously. There's a bug in hercules that prevents me from booting up a SP1 kernel or later, so I'm not entirely sure just what level fixed it. If you're forced into running a pre-SP1 kernel as well, then there are a couple of things you'll want/need to do: - Update /etc/zipl.conf so that you have "insmod=tty3270" on the kernel parm line. - Update /etc/sysconfig/kernel to add tty3270 to the list of modules to be built into the initrd. - Re-run mkinitrd. - Re-run zipl. - Update /etc/init.d/boot.local to add this command: /sbin/chccwdev -e 0.0.xxxx where "xxxx" is the device number assigned to your console. In your particular case, that would be "/sbin/chccwdev -e 0.0.001f" - chkconfig boot.local on - Make sure /etc/inittab still has a mingetty entry for /dev/tty0.0.001f in it. - Halt your Linux system - Connect to port 3270 (or whatever you have defined for CNSLPORT) with your TN3270 emulator. You should see the hercules greeting screen - Boot your linux system At some point, you should see the login prompt on your TN3270 session.
