The z990 is the official name for the new mainframe machine. The z990 code drop contains the changes & new features for the new machine. The IBM process forces us to publish the new features patches on developer works first before we can think about integration into the mainline. You may not like it but this is a restriction we as the s390 team at IBM have to live with. > Btw, what's the state of 2.4.21-rc3 vs s390(x)? No too good. It basically works but there is a big bunch of patches missing. I sent them to Marcelo for integration a few weeks ago but to me Marcelo is a black hole. Never heard anything about it, not even a "no". I sent Alan a copy of the patches adapted to his -ac tree. He accepted most of it into rc2-ac2. blue skies, Martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
