This page contains the "May 2002 stream" (kernel version 2.4.19 and related) experimental downloads
Experimental code drops only have limited testing and may not be installed or
function in all environments. These patches need not be compatible with
other patches on developerWorks for LINUX for S/390 and zSeries either.
The purpose of experimental code drops is early publication of on-going
efforts at IBM to allow for
code review and
early experiments by "power users".
This page may also be used to "submit" code into the development streams
of open source projects.
Warning You may not use experimental patches on a production system
or on any system that may get authority over a production system or access
to data of a production system. Disregarding this rule may result in severe
data loss.
Experimental patches eventually disappear as they will be included in a
following release unless proven wrong or replaced by better code.
modutils-2.4.22-s390-exp-may2002.tar.gz
/ MD5experimental (2002-12-19)
This patch fixes some minor problems with the biarch support of the modutils package on Linux for zSeries. This makes it possible to load and remove 64-bit modules using the 31-bit modutils package.
Everybody, who is interested in the biarch functionality, should apply this patch.
To create the complete modutils sources, the following
patches need to be applied in sequence:
modutils-2.4.22.tar.bz2 (www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils)
+ modutils-2.4.22-s390-exp-may2002.diff (IBM)
linux-2.4.19-s390-claw-experimental-may2002.tar.gz
/ MD5experimental (2002-09-13)
This patch contains the source code for the claw network driver.
To create the complete linux kernel sources, the following patches
need to be applied in sequence:
linux-2.4.19.tar.gz (originial kernel source)
+ linux-2.4.19-s390-may2002.diff (IBM)
+ linux-2.4.19-s390-claw-experimental-may2002.diff (IBM)
Please refer to the "Linux for zSeries and S/390 Device Drivers and Installation Commands" manual on the
Documentation page of the "May 2002 stream" for the description of how to use the CLAW-driver.
