You should try a newer RH 7.2 s390 kernel. The 2.4.9-17 kernel for RH
7.2 s390 had a weird interaction with samba.

If you're going to upgrade to SUSE, don't use SLES8, get SLES9. Otherwise
you'll be facing the same situation of being unsupported much quicker.
To answer your basic question, yes I think an upgrade of that nature will
make that problem go away. Other problems will take its place (the nature

Is it true, note that I haven't tried it, that if you try to use LVM for
everything, you still need a /boot volume, just a few cylinders, for IPL
purposes? I'm thinking that LVM is a software raid, so you have to have
the software running before you can use it.

I don't think it can. We boot from a 100 cyl /boot fs and have a logical

Because LVM is necessary to allow those file systems to be larger than a
