I tried this but I still got a file with 0 length.

I downlaoded the file and replaced it using this method. This work!!!

I think that's right.  I looked; there's nothing for
s390 in kernel.org's ports tree.  The ia64 kernel
project maintains a separate patchset, some fold back
into Linus' kernel tree but a lot don't.

Try removing the file and rerunning 'extras/entitycheck.py -f'.
The entity checker also has a checksum option (-c) which you can
use to make sure all the tarballs are valid. Sometimes it can
get fooled if it failed to fetch the file but the zero-length
file didn't get removed (I've tried to stamp this bug out
but it's resisting me).

We've also got all the packages mirrored at
ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/impl/packages
as a fallback if the regular locations fail.
Due to a slight bobble this morning they may not
all be restored quite yet, but should all be
on-line by tomorrow.

Cheers,
