I found this statement in the 08/18/2001 README file at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/s390/README "- The lcs and the qeth drivers are not supported from Red Hat as they are binary-only drivers that cannot be loaded into our standard Red Hat Linux kernel and as they are not Open Source..." Is this why the lcs.o and qeth.o modules are not included in either the initrd.img or tapeinrd.img files? Mark Post
