Hi Chris, I have also faced the same issue with the trixie ISO. https://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/ I downloaded the initrd and kernel files from this link and used (as I remember) the following flags along with qemu:
qemu-system-s390x \ -M s390-ccw-virtio -m 4G \ -enable-kvm \ -cpu host \ -smp 4 \ -nographic \ -kernel debian_files/kernel.debian \ -initrd debian_files/initrd.debian \ -append "modules=virtio_net" \ -drive file=debian_s390x.qcow2,if=none,id=drive0,format=qcow2 \ -device virtio-blk-ccw,drive=drive0,bootindex=1 \ -netdev user,id=net0 \ -device virtio-net-ccw,netdev=net0 \ -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \ -device virtio-rng-ccw,rng=rng0 I did not try out the same with virt-manager. Also, I don't know what exactly is the problem with the ISO and also don't know on how to fix it. Thanks, Pranav
