Hi,
I tried to patch kernel 2.4.17 with linux-2.4.17-s390.diff and got the
following:
patching file Documentation/Configure.help
patch: Can't create file /tmp/pooFPYtf : File exists
I used: patch -p1 < linux-2.4.17-s390.diff.
The file does not exist! The directory tmp is completetly empty
Our company uses FDR/Upstream with StorageTek silos and Schuled with OPC-E
using batch jcl that gets submitted to start the backup process. (for aix).
It works well.

Yeah - I set an environment variable (I can't remember which offhand) that
defines the system as a redhat system then I ran Interactive Bastille with
the --norequires parm.

to run it that way

This is a known bug. There have been two kernel upgrades since the pre-release
version. I assume that's what you're running, since the GA version had the first
upgrade integrated.
If you have a maintenance agreement, you can get the new kernel packages from SuSE.
If not, I guess you're out

Take the highest-numbered kernel that has an existing IBM OCO package. You
