Re: Slack/390 3270 support
One more thing concerning 3270 console support. During initial boot up messages would be directed to the 3270 device, but after the ctc device was initialized no more messages were directed to the 3270 device. I'm not saying the ctc had anything to do with this, just that was the last message I saw. I could enter commands at the 3270 but it didn't appear they were being read/used by anything. I did a little googling and found an entry from utsglobal about changing the console's major and minor numbers to 5 and 1. I did this and now the 3270 divice is a fully functional console device. What does this prove? Not much but I got it to work with a little help from my friends on Linux-390. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/10/04 01:20PM Hmm.

Re: Slack/390 3270 support
Hi, Richard
As to /dev/3270/tub* being block devices, that's new to me. Could you
point me more exactly to where you saw this?
The 3270 driver uses two major numbers, 227 and 228, for line-mode and
fullscreen operations. Both are character devices. The script
/usr/src/linux{,-2.4}/Documentation/s390/config3270.sh generates
/tmp/mkdev3270, which generates character device special files
/dev/3270/ttyfoo and /dev/3270/tubfoo respectively, foo a 4-character
device address. Minor number 0 is used only with major 228 and defines
the generic fullscreen device /dev/3270/tub; 0 is not used with major 227.
To find for yourself what devices the 3270 driver knows about, give
these two commands:
echo what=config /proc/tty/driver/tty3270
cat /proc/tty/driver/tty3270
Use the address at the CONSOLE line for your console device. The line
will read:
device CONSOLE minor
If you use the above scripts to configure your 3270s, you should expect
to see /dev/3270/tubdevice as major 228, minor minor.
If you don't want to, or don't have them available, do this:
mkdir /dev/3270
mknod /dev/3270/tubdevice c 228 minor
Hope this helps.

Hi, Richard
As to /dev/3270/tub* being block devices, that's new to me. Could you
point me more exactly to where you saw this?
The 3270 driver uses two major numbers, 227 and 228, for line-mode and
fullscreen operations. Both are character devices. The script
/usr/src/linux{,-2.4}/Documentation/s390/config3270.sh generates
/tmp/mkdev3270, which generates character device special files
/dev/3270/ttyfoo and /dev/3270/tubfoo respectively, foo a 4-character
device address. Minor number 0 is used only with major 228 and defines
the generic fullscreen device /dev/3270/tub; 0 is not used with major 227.
To find for yourself what devices the 3270 driver knows about, give
these two commands:
echo what=config /proc/tty/driver/tty3270
cat /proc/tty/driver/tty3270
Use the address at the CONSOLE line for your console device. The line
will read:
device CONSOLE minor
If you use the above scripts to configure your 3270s, you should expect
to see /dev/3270/tubdevice as major 228, minor minor.
If you don't want to, or don't have them available, do this:
mkdir /dev/3270
mknod /dev/3270/tubdevice c 228 minor
Hope this helps.

Are you saying my device should be tub0700 rather than tty0700?
I looked at the device list on kernel.org and saw that /dev/3270/tty* is a
character device and /dev/3270/tub* is a block device.

Re: Slack/390 3270 support
Well, I'm the _only_ member of the Slack/390 team, so there's no one to get back with. The 4,64 values were standard back a ways. I just looked, and my SUSE 7.0 system has that specified. I must have missed the change to 5,1 whenever that happened. I'll be updating my devs packages to reflect this.

Mark, you might want to make a note of this and get back with the rest of the Slack team. Richard H., I haven't looked at the 3270 console code, but are you okay with 5,1? It is the current choice for /dev/console, per the kernel doc. -- R; -- 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 -- 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
Re: Slack/390 3270 support
Thanks, Richard. I like the phrase fullscreen mode better, because (1) block mode can be confused with block special devices, and (2) the 3270 driver always runs a 3270 in block mode; at least as I wrote it the 3270 is inherently a block-mode device, whether used in line mode or in fullscreen mode; there is no per-character I/O interrupt. Note that in line mode, the driver does honor a slightly-more-than-randomly-selected set of ESC sequences. For instance, try the wget command from a 3270 console and compare its console output with that to a 3215 console. The progress bar stays on the same line with the 3270 console.

Problem Changing Installation Source - SuSE SLES8
I've got SuSE SLES8 with SP3 installed and need to change the installation source. When I 1st installed SuSE, I was using a ftp server on my local PC, but due to new network restrictions, I know need to change it. I've tried copying the CD images over to the Linux instance and mounting them on the loop device, and I tried to change the installation source to Local Directory in YaST, but I keep getting a error message saying 'Unable to create installation source from URL 'dir:///install/cd1/' Details: ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) '. I have the service pack CD image also copied into this instance, mounted on a loop device, and YaST has no problem with it. The difference is that the service pack was always defined as a local directory and I didn't need to change it. Has anyone else run across this problem and resovled it?
