Hi Philipp, I return to our problem with the installation of a Debian/Lenny version on our mainframe ( a a Multiprise Series 3000 Model H30, 32 bits running z/VM V4.2.0). You can see below the different steps of a new attempt which remains unsuccessful.
Could you help ? Thanks and best regards. Jean-Claude Durand LIG, équipe GETALP 385, rue de la Bibliothèque, BP 53 38041 Grenoble cedex 9 1. I got the for files from: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-s390/current/images/ (the files with their size: 2788877 24 nov 22:06 initrd.debian 3361536 24 nov 22:06 kernel.debian) 2. The the files after they have been reblocked: LINUX7 FILELIST A0 V 169 Trunc=169 Size=20 Line=1 Col=1 Alt=0 Cmd Filename Filetype Fm Format Lrecl Records Blocks Date Time DEBIAN EXEC A1 V 40 10 1 5/10/11 17:17:27 KERNEL DEBIAN A1 F 80 42020 798 5/10/11 17:09:52 INITRD DEBIAN A1 F 80 34861 681 5/10/11 17:07:46 PARMFILE DEBIAN A1 F 80 1 1 5/10/11 17:00:47 3. We added some parameters to the parmfile.debian in order to have some debug information: ro locale=C debconf/priority=low DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text BOOT_DEBUG=2 4.
