That's a pity. Because that is *exactly* the information we need. And I'm very surprised that nobody in the community is able (or willing) to provide that info. > If you have a specific .iso image that you want me to download and try to > see if it will boot, I can do that for you.

I doubt it will make a difference as the problem is not in the kernel, but in loading the initrd. But maybe I'm wrong and the method you describe really is different from what I can do in hercules. If you think it may help, please give it a shot. It should be trivial to create a CD image yourself as all you need is the D-I images and boot files. You don't need any packages on the CD to do an installation on s390. Besides, you have the hardware, I don't. So you can play around with different options, I can't.
