Yep. They're obsolete, and we're trying to save space/bandwidth on the mirrors, since the space is donated. 3.6 is 3.1 with all the updates+errata. If you REALLY need 3.1 for some hellish reason, you'll need to get it from the vault. ( vault.centos.org )
Hellish, maybe -> Tivoli Storage Manager.
Actually, what I need is kernel 2.4.21-4.0.1 according to IBM. I thought that since that version was in an older version of the "other enterprise linux" it would be in an older CentOS as well. Am I correct in this assumption or fighting a losing battle? Not sure how *hard* that requirement is, might just be kernel 2.4.whatever, but I have to find out. Was that version in 3.0 or 3.1 of CentOS?
Also have a requirement for kernel 2.4 from the Tivoli Integrated Solution Console as well. Not sure on this requirement as well, I do know that with CentOS 4 the installer blew up with "unsupported kernel version xxx". Tried tricking the installer by replacing the uname binary with a script that returned what the other linux gives from `uname -a` but it didn't work.

The oldest kernel that we released with CentOS-3 was 2.4.21-9.0.1. That was at 3.1 which was the oldest official release.
I can build you a 2.4.21-4.0.1 kernel ... and maybe even a 2.4.21-4.0.1 install CD if you absolutely need that (I don't have a CentOS-3 build environment for spinning CD though, I do CentOS-4) ... IF all (or most) of the rest of the 3.1 level stuff would work.
BUT ... if you need all stuff before EL3 update 1, that would be fairly hard. (In fact it would be building a whole new point release :)

I don't know what kind of tivoli setup you're looking at but surely IBM has software fully compatible with EL3u6 (or atleast u4 or u5). Go whack them with something heavy. We run some tivoli stuff on a fully updated Centos-4 (2.6.9-something).
just my .02 euros, Peter
and fwiw, our mirror (mirror.nsc.liu.se) also has vault.

Those are actually the RPM's for IBM based tape devices, I'm using a Dell. Have to use the non-IBM package TIVsm-scsi that comes from my contract download site.
Problem at the moment isn't with the TSM packages themselves, it's all the management add-on's.

I've managed to get TSM 5.2 running under CentOS 3.6 now, but not under 4.2. Having issues getting the sg driver to see LUN 1 on SCSI ID 6 which is the tape changer. LUN 0 is the drive itself which is detected fine. If I add LUN 1 with an echo > /proc/scsi kind of thing, I can get it found. It's just not being detected when the aic7xxx driver fires at boot. Tried max_scsi_luns=7 added the kernel to no avail.
The thing is, version 5.2 tsm-scsi package is kernel specific whereas 5.3 uses the sg interface so it's not. Neither of them are stated to work with EL4.x so I'm giving up on that one for now.
And I wish I could smack IBM sometimes.
