I'm messing with installations into hercules. For hercules, I have the following contents in /etc/hercules/hercules.prm: root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off DASD=120 chandev=ctc0,0x600,0x601 CHANDEV=ctc0,0x600,0x601 HOST=test.example.com:ctc0:192.168.200.3:192.168.200.4 DNS=10.100.0.254:10.1.0.3 SEARCHDNS=example.com:test.example.com RPMSERVER=http://10.100.0.254/s390/raw MOUNTS=/dev/dasda1:/ INSTALL=default DTZ=MST INTERACTIVE=1 When I start a 7.2 install under hercules, all these parameters get read automatically -- the ctc is properly configured, the host name is set, etc. When I start a rawhide install under hercules, none of these parameters get set. I have to configure a ctc network connection manually, etc.
I have been able to install to hercules using the current 7.2 s390 (31-bit) install trees: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/s390/ Try using this instead of rawhide ... :)
Yeah, I can do that (and it works). It seems like rawhide is broken / regressed though, since the installer in 7.2 reads the ctc settings automatically, but the installer in rawhide doesn't unless I manually specify them It might just be a quirk of hercules though -- I don't have access to real s/390 to see what happens there
glad to hear it is working for you ... remember, rawhide == unsupported (and if it breaks, you get to keep the pieces ... :) )
