Re: set relpage off question
I don't have a clue why this would be recommended for a LINUX virtual machine. Does Linux get memory from CMS? It may be that IBM (or someone) has implemented something for similiar reasons under Linux. The set relpage off setting is a leftover from the dark age. The very first experiments with the linux kernel have been done with a CMS image loader until I found out how to IPL from the reader. Every publicly available version does not need this. blue skies, Martin Linux/390 Design Development, IBM Deutschland Entwicklung GmbH Schönaicherstr. 220, D-71032 Böblingen, Telefon: 49 - (0)7031 - 16-2247 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A follow up to my requests regarding that emulator, and the Marist file system
Hello from Gregg C Levine writing for myself Thanks to all who replied, however, I have decided to shelve the project temporarily. For two reasons, I don't have the horse power, on the Intel side, and because I remember a lot of problems being reported on the list for the product. I have decided to go back to the usual things, on the emulator. For all who replied, the next time you visit NYC, I will have free coffee, and pastries available, just give me an hour's notice. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Force will be with you...Always.

Re: MySQL
I have installed MySQL in SuSE SLES7 When I installed the product I received a message PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password Useful tip if you installed something as an rpm rpm -ql packagename will list all the files it installed. SO if mysqladmin ended up somewhere odd in the suse setup (they seem to like moving stuff to /opt) then you can work out where it went even if someone forgot to fix the instructions. Ditto the cases where you go to the net for help and find the documentation on the master sites doesn't match the distro location. Alan

Re: Share
Well, it's Friday, and I'm just about to leave on my 9 hour drive home. There wasn't a whole lot of z800 stuff. Jim Elliott and company had one on the floor of the Tech Exchange, so they could let people see, smell and touch it. Oddly enough, it looks pretty much like a z900. :) They got a fair number of people looking it over, and I told him I wouldn't mind having one in my basement, but it's a little too expensive. :( Lots of Linux and Linux/390 sessions. Pretty good attendance. Overall attendance was reported to be down from Minneapolis in July, but my Primer session attendance went up about 20%. I guess that means Neale Ferguson will want me to do it again. Most of the Linux/390 sessions were pretty well attended, not just mine of course. Scott Courtney put in some dazzling performances for his talks. For someone who hasn't done a lot of public speaking, he's _very_ good at it. (David, Adam, he did you proud, no doubt about it.) There is definitely rising interest in Linux and Linux/390. Hopefully that will mean that someday we'll have someone give a session on a production implementation with real performance numbers. That's one area where there is still no data available for public consumption. The folks from Transtar gave a nice one that may be going production just before SHARE in San Francisco. A lot of people are hoping they'll be able to provide just such a session. Doctor Robinson from Salomon Smith Barney gave a nice presentation on their use of Linux/390, but they're mainly using it in development and infrastructure roles, and are only in the planning stages for moving production applications to it. Lots of information, lots of talks, lots of sore feet (at least on my part). I'm pretty exhausted, and might wind up taking a number of naps on the drive home so that I can arrive safely. I'm very glad that I've got the next two weeks off. I think I'm going to need it to recover from this trip!

Re: DASD layout error
My understanding is that the old, old, old, _real_ 3380 devices don't support ECKD, which is necessary for support in Linux/390. If those are indeed that type of device, then I believe you are out of luck. If the 3380's are behind a 3990 Control Unit I suppose one could go and remove all coded dependencies on 3390 geometry, but if this is indeed a non-ECKD control unit then it would be painful. Another possibility, if it was a 3380 attached to a 3990 controller - the original mail from Maciek implies that he used ICKDSF to format the disk, which doesn't build a Linux compatible layout either. He should use dasdfmt instead. Ingo

Re: Share
To echo Mark's notes, attendance was excellent in the Linux on zSeries sessions. My Mainframe Linux Update went from 110 in Minneapolis to 117 in Nashville. The majority of the audience were new to this, and most were MVS sysprogs. A lot were at the Linux sessions because their boss told them to learn about Linux. And yes, we had a nice new z800 at SHARE in the trade show. It is actually a little smaller than the x900 (in all dimensions). A big reason, the z800 is air cooled with the z900 has a closed loop cooling system. I had to leave early on Wednesday (and the airline lost my luggage!) to go to Edmonton Canada. I presented the Linux story to the local Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) dinner last night to an audience of over 150. It was enthusiastically received! The charts for my SHARE and CIPS sessions are on my web site at http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/jelliott under User Groups. Regards, Jim Elliott - Linux Advocate, IBM Canad
Re: Porting Large S/390 Assembler Applications
Thanks for all the on-list and off-list responses. So far everyone says don't do it. I have not heard from anyone that has attempted to port a heavy system type OS/390 or VSE multitasking application written in S/390 assembler to LINUX. Has anyone ported an assembler application without re-writing it in C or Java?

Tachyon Software (http://www.tachyonsoft.com) produces an excellent HLASM syntax compatible assembler that runs under Linux and optionally outputs ELF: this will reduce the effort pretty dramatically, down to about a 7 on that 10 scale. You'll still have some source code mods to make with respect to sectioning and externals; but it does take the lion's share of the work out of that part of the effort.

Being an old mainframer who is used to prereqs coreqs I am sometimes confused how you tell if a package has any kernel dependencies.
