Actually, a 100 Hz timer seems to work. Then I hang because I didn't load the DASD driver, but I think that's very likely just a problem with my generated RAMDISK. So my recommendation would be to use a 100Hz timer pop for s390 31-bit at least. I wonder if this has anything to do with tr

Turning off the timer gets slightly farther, but hangs at 038c18, which is in raise_softirq . So that's not it. Next step: turning the timer back down to 100 Hz. Doubt that's going to help. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "un

Well, my custom kernel (in which, on a hunch, I turned off timer ticks) is still building, but I now have this diagnostic information: If you (under VM) do a CP D P ALL you see that you're generally in scheduler_tick, sometimes in account_user_time_scaled, sometimes tick_switch_to_oneshot.

Fails on released Lenny as well. I'm installing the kernel sources now to see if I can, in fact, build a working 2.6.26 in an otherwise-Lenny environment. If I get something that works on FLEX-ES I'd like for someone to try it on Hercules. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-d

We should probably decide what the cutoff point should be, since it looks like 1.39 will be a database change from 1.38. Now, I myself would really like 1.39 since it implements pool migration, which is important to my installation. However, I think 1.38.2 is really the bottom edge of what

Package: install Severity: important When you install Sarge on a zSeries (64-bit) system, the s390x (64-bit) kernel is installed by default. Superficially this seems like the right behavior. However, then the cpint module doesn't work, and more generally, we don't have a full 64-bit s390x port.
