IBM CMOS Processor Table
There are many questions about which processors Linux for S/390 will
run on. IBM states that a "G5" or later is required.
Of course, Linux for System z requires a z/Architecture processor.
The following table
should help to resolve the confusion.

Notes:
- The first generation to formally have a "G" designation was the G3
and the last was the G6.
- P/390, R/390 and 3006 (Integrated Server) are also considered "G2"
at a current licensed internal code level
- Linux for S/390 requires a "G5" or later processor
or equivalent
in 31-bit mode.
Linux for zSeries requires a z/Architecture processor
or equivalent
in 64-bit mode.
- z/VM Version 3 requires a "G2" or later processor
or equivalent
(Architecture Level Set 1).
See the
z/VM V3.1 General Information Manual, GC24-5944-01
for more information.
- z/VM Version 4 requires a "G5" or later processor
or equivalent
(or equivalent)
(Architecture Level Set 2).
See the
z/VM V4.4 General Information Manual, GC24-5991-05
for more information.
- z/VM Version 5 requires a zSeries processor
or equivalent
(Architecture Level Set 3).
See the
z/VM V5.3 General Information Manual, GC24-6095-06
for more information.
- Information on
Processor Version Codes and SRM Constants (including
information returned by STIDP and STSI).
