Re: qeth ipv6 dependency
Was an alternative solution to this ever found? On 07/02/2007 02:47 AM, Ursula Braun1 wrote: Brad, since qeth supports layer3 devices, it is difficult to make qeth independent of ipv6. The best solution would be a kernel rebuild without ipv6 configured. There exists the SLES9 solution solving Novell Bugzilla 128561 you are pointing to. Unfortunately it is more a quick hack and thus more a circumvention than a real solution for the problem. Thus up to now there have been no efforts to port it to upstream or to another distribution. Nevertheless we are aware of this problem and we are going to investigate into alternative solutions. Best regards,Ursula Braun IBM Germany, Dept. 1419, Linux on System z Dev.

Ideally, they'd like to remove the ipv6 kernel module altogether. In RHEL 4 and SLES 9, they were able to do this. In RHEL 5 and SLES 10, they're finding that dependencies don't allow them to do this. It appears there are too many hard linkages between qeth and ipv6. When they alias ipv6 off in modprobe.conf, they get messages like: qeth: Unknown symbol in6_dev_finish_destroy qeth: Unknown symbol addrconf_lock qeth: Unknown symbol unregister_inet6addr_notifier qeth: Unknown symbol ndisc_mc_map qeth: Unknown symbol register_inet6addr_notifier qeth: Unknown symbol in6_dev_finish_destroy qeth: Unknown symbol addrconf_lock qeth: Unknown symbol unregister_inet6addr_notifier qeth: Unknown symbol ndisc_mc_map qeth: Unknown symbol register_inet6addr_notifier qeth: Unknown symbol in6_dev_finish_destroy qeth: Unknown symbol addrconf_lock qeth: Unknown symbol unregister_inet6addr_notifier qeth: Unknown symbol ndisc_mc_map qeth: Unknown symbol register_inet6addr_notifier I found this link, so it seems someone has asked this question before: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/linux-2.6.5-s390-32-april2004.html Specifically, Problem-ID 19880: Description: qeth: customer wants qeth driver to be loaded and running without ipv6 module loaded prior to. Symptom: qeth module built with ipv6 support will not load when ipv6 module is not loaded. Problem: qeth driver is using basic ipv6 functions which are needed to register IPv6 IP addresses. These functions are not available when ipv6 module is not loaded. Solution: Use symbol_put/symbol_get and get function addresses when available and call them. Use wrapper functions then in qeth. - So the question is: Does anyone know when this change happened in the qeth code? i.e. What was the decision/feature in the module that necessitated this dependency? Was the patch in the link above ever proposed upstream?

You should be able to access the crypto hardware through the CCA libraries on System z servers running Linux. It's been a while since I looked at it, but this page (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/security/) might be of use.

Quest re: Subversion on SLES 11.0
I have been trying to install a package called Subversion. Since I could not find a binary for SuSE SLES 11 on zVM, I am attempting to compile it from scratch by doing a './configure' and then 'make'. Wow, what a mess. I must be missing some trick or knowledge. Has anybody done this? And, if so, would you have any advice for all the 'pre-installed software package requisites' that is required? By this I mean as an example the following scenario: 1. I issue './configure...' to configure Subversion. './configure...' stops and tell me that the configure/make for 'zlib' had errors. I 'cd' to the zlib directory and issue a ./configure. Seems good. I do a make. It seems good as well. 2. So we are back at the './configure...' for Subversion. Subversion stops, telling me that 'Serf' has erred on it's './configure'. 'Serf' is missing an 'APR' type package. I down load and untar it. I 'cd' to this APR package lib. I issue ./configure/make and for this package, it seems to have gone well. So we are now back at the 'Serf' ./configure/make. I do the ./configure manually. Looks good. I do the 'make'. It seems good. 3. Once again, we are back at the Subversion level. I continue on with the './configure' All seems well. 4. Let's say for arguments sake I have completed the './configure...' without too many errors, at least none that are critical (I think). Now I key in the 'make'. Package missing. I download the package and untar it. I 'cd' to it's directory. I do the './configure'. Errors. Needs 'x-package-of-some-sort'. I download it. Go thru the procedures shown above, you know, the configure/make process. 5. I finally get back to the Subversion 'make' process again. We begin where it erred off before. etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Do you get my drift? It just seems like I'm spinning my wheels.

Hello! Mark Post is probably the best fellow here to properly answer that one, but here goes: When you installed your Linux instance, how many CDs or DVDs were involved in the process? Typically the source code rides on the very last one, and installation notes normally tell the user (or programmer or systems administrator) not to install that one. I believe however that the source RPM files are available for download from an FTP site, or via the company website, but I could definitely be wrong with these assertions. -- Gregg C Levine hansolofal...@worldnet.att.net The Force will be with you always.

What Adam suggests may be all you need. If you install a software development kit then the requisite libraries for a bazillion things are automagically present. I am a huge proponent of build-it-yourself. That is the biggest reason why we have open source: you can build it if you need to.

The subject line caught my attention because we recently started using Subversion and it brings back fond memories of GOOD version control with attribution and all that. (Used CVS about five years ago, which in its day was slick stuff.) So nice to have flexibility and still have an audit trail and/or roll-back. Please don't lose heart about building it yourself. If you can find an RPM, and you trust it, great! But if you can't find pre-built packages or you don't trust the builder, or if you need customization or require some up-to-date release, building your own is the way to go. If you are committed to in-house compilation, then you can justify having and maintaining a suite of requisite packages and libraries so that next time something like SVN comes along it will just make and life will be beautiful. -- R; On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 13:27, Michael Simmssimmsmichael1...@yahoo.com wrote: I have been trying to install a package called Subversion.

process that's using up most the time, but are there other screens in
particular that can help me point the developers in the right direction as
to what they can do to make this process run better (although the good news
is it won't run during our prime shift once it's in production)? I have
access to the browser based screens for Velocity, but could also talk to
the zVM admin to have him look at stuff through the mainframe screens. At
this point, the AIX area is pushing to move everything off of z/Linux and
to AIX because it will 'run better' there and they've done a good job of
convincing management. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

But if you can't find pre-built packages or you don't trust the builder, or if you need customization or require some up-to-date release, building your own is the way to go. If you are committed to in-house compilation, then you can justify having and maintaining a suite of requisite packages and libraries so that next time something like SVN comes along it will just make and life will be beautiful. You still should find or build a spec file, and run rpmbuild to do the actual make. Going outside the package management system hurts. Trust me on this. I realize that this is very different advice than the Adam who worked in Rick's office a zillion years ago would have given, but from a maintenance standpoint: 1) Use the distro version if there is one--even if it's on the SDK 2) If you can't do that, at least roll it up into the distro package management system so you can use your distro tools to query installed package version level and so forth Adam -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
