So, is there something I'm doing wrong?
Not that I spot anything.
This is a perfectly normal
(if
slow) z/VM development system (yes, it's actually emulated, but for
all
that, IBM still recognizes Flex boxes as being legitimate s390x
machines
until the last dongle has expired!). It runs Etch, SLES10, and
CentOS
4.4 just fine, and it runs z/VM 5.2 and z/OS 1.9 fine too.
Etch, SLES10 and CentOS 4.4 are much older.
Is there something in newer Linux kernels that requires z9 or later
functionality?
No. They work fine on z900. Can you try if a new kernel will work at
all
on this system?
