No, I wasn't joking, but that doesn't mean I was right, either. Sigh. If you can't tell, it's been a while since I did a SUSE install from the beginning. I was thinking of the "starter" kernel that you use, depending on whether you'll be IPLing from tape, or the VM reader. Sorry. Once you've g

Hi Mark, when I first read your message I thought you were joking, but I'm almost hoping that you aren't. How do I tell, or can I tell if I'm using an "LPAR" kernel? Does such a thing really exist? I copied the ramdisk boot files from the cdrom to a VM minidisk, punched them to the reader, and ip

Rick, Again, I'm not sure what's going on with you and 2.4.24. It built just fine for me, but we might be using different configuration options. Wait, I just remembered reporting that the 2.4.23/2.4.24 patches did _not_ include some fixes that were in the 2.4.21 series. (At least one of which w

When you buy RHEL, you get both maintenance and defect support. If you then pay IBM for support on top of that, then you're paying double (or less/more?). That's one thing about SUSE. You _have_ to pay for maintenance when you get their product, but they don't force you to pay for problem suppor

Anyone know if RHAS3 has FCP support? My understanding was that it was missing from RH 7.2 and that was a strong selling point for SLES8 which had it. However, because we like RHAS for x86 we would like to deploy it on Z/Platform as well. Thank you! Eric Sammons
