Description mcisho 2011-10-24 14:54:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am attempting to install Fedora 15 s390x under z/VM 6.1. I downloaded all of the files from http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/15/Fedora/s390x/os/images/. I changed the generic.prm to add the disk and networking information. The install begins, Anaconda runs and does various things such as starting networking and formatting disks. However a window then appears that says:-

  Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to
  a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your
  install tree has been correctly generated.

  Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for
  repository : updates  Please verify its path and try
  again.

     Exit install    Edit    Retry

Retry produces the same result, Edit does not work because the install is being done in text mode, so I have to Exit install. Shortly before the window appears the following messages appeared on the console:-

WARN yum.YumBase: Repo Fedora 15 - s390x - Test Updates Debug contains -source or -debuginfo, excluding

WARN yum.YumBase: Repo Fedora 15 - Source contains -source or -debuginfo, excluding

I'm not sure how to proceed from here, any suggestions gratefully received. What information can I provide? I've attached the console messages produced during the install.
