Red Hat 7.1 and 7.2 were not commercial product offerings from Red Hat. Red Hat introduced its commercial offering with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, which was not offered on the s390. So I believe that there is confusion here between what is Red Hat Enterprise Linux and what is Linux. uname -r

I could be wrong, but I think the first 390-enabled RHEL was RHEL 3.x. 2.4 is really, really ancient. David: I think you are right here. My records show the first RHEL release to support s390 and s390x was RHEL 3 Update 3 which was kernel level 2.4.21. This may be the confusion with 2.4. Jim

I'll chime in here, RHEL 3 on s390 was not pretty. I highly suggest you go to at least RHEL 4, the later the better (4.7 is the latest); if possible go to RHEL 5. -Eric On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 1:09 PM, Patrick Spinler [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1
