Thanks to both of you, I'll try this out. As far as getting a newer kernel is concerned, I'd like to, but from what I can see 2.4.9-38 is the latest Redhat s/390 production kernel, unless anyone can advise me differently. I might just have to request an evaluation version from Suse if I can't get this working !
