Good spotting. I have seen patches in this area that should stabilize the s390 2.4 kernel. I am not actively tracking this and still run with a 2.2 kernel until these things are more tested out... E.g. the marist mailinglist has a patch posted on Feb 23rd with patches from Ulrich Weigand that might fix all this, if you want to test this out. cu, Florian La Roche
