Ok, then this is broke.  Have you installed the kernel source, if so can
you check the configuration to ensure that the S390 Segment Manager (under
the EVMS sub-menu) is selected and try manually building it.  I am trying
to get hold of a copy os SLES8 for S390 to check for myself, but don't have
it yet.

Ok, that works fine.  the s390_part.o should already be in that list, but
of course is not.  First problem is getting the module built and installed
so that the list can be updated.
