You'll have to contact SuSE directly for support on that release-- in fact,

Interesting point. Even though licenses for some software
costs the same between NT and Linux for S/390, that running on NT could cost
more due to the number of physical machines needed to support a particular
application.

I finally have the kernel able to properly insert the tape390 module under

The only major cost of Linux or Linux/390 I recall was around $70K. I
wasn't that interested in Linux at that time, so I really didn't keep the
flyer.
But, my impression was that it was for a 3 year support contract.
It brings me to another topic.
What is in a support contract?

The distribution itself is not particularly expensive. The bundled support

When I start up my Linux instance, it can often take up to
60 seconds for the VM TCPIP stack to recognize the new IUCV

Maybe a little off topic for this list...
The answer is, of course, "it depends".

No. You should not. With 'dasdfmt' you overwrite everything that CMS
put there. The resulting disk is not eligable for Diagnose I/O as far as the
Linux dasd driver is concerned.

The difference I believe is that this will not let you use diagnose I/O to it.
