-Complete information regarding supported S/390 and zSeries machines can
-be found in IBM's Redbook
-<ulink url="http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg246264.pdf">
-Linux for IBM eServer zSeries and S/390: Distributions</ulink> in
-chapter 2.1 or at the
-<ulink url="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/index.html">zSeries
-page at the developerWorks</ulink>.
-In short, G5, Multiprise 3000, G6 and all zSeries are fully supported;
-Multiprise 2000, G3 and G4 machines are supported with IEEE floating
-point emulation and thus degraded performance.
+Since &debian; Squeeze, support for booting in ESA/390 mode was dropped. Your
+machine needs to support for at least the z/Architecture, Architecture Level
+Set 2. The userland is still compiled for ESA/390, though. All zSeries
+hardware is fully supported.
+
+&arch-title; support software is included from the kernel 2.6.32 development
+stream. The most current information about IBM's Linux support can be found at
+the
