In order to install Debian for s390, I downloaded the CD iso images of Debian for s390, and the latest installation files (kernel.debian, parmfile.debian, initrd.debian) from ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-s390/current/vmrdr/ .
I reblocked the .debian files with this pipe: PIPE < / | FBLOCK 80 00 | > / F and punched them (in the above order) to the RDR of my LINUX01 virtual machine, with: PUN / (NOH IPL 00C CL worked, the system started up, but at some point, I got a few messages, something like this: (I dont have an exact listing right now) RAMDISK: couldn't find valid ramdisk image starting at 0. Freeing initrd memory ... ... "wrong magic" ... "kernel panic" and the system died. Is there something obvious I did wrong? Any helpful suggestions? Thank you, Shimon
