It is because you use FTP server on Windows. Use it on Linux, or choise
install from SMB and simply share CD-ROM on your windows.

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
Can anyone help me with the problem described below please? I can provide
more information if required.
I am attempting to install SuSE-Linux Enterprise Server for S/390 2.2.16
under VM/ESA 2.4.0 from the 3-CD media kit for evaluation purposes and I am
following the installation procedures described in ?Preparing for
Installing
SuSE Linux for S/390? (Linux-1001-01) and ?Installing SuSE Linux for S/390?
(Linux-1002-01) and also Simon Williams? paper ?Building Linux Systems
under
IBM VM? (form no. REDP0120).
The installation environment is a 128/256Mb virtual machine with the
following 3380 minidisks: 191 (92 cyl), 292 (2654 cyl), 293 (300 cyl). The
starter system boots successfully from the VM reader and the message
?Welcome to SuSE Linux S/390 7.0? confirms this. I am using OSA-Ethernet
(option 2) to access it and am able to Telnet into it and run YaST. The
startup message ?Linux version 2.2.16 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version
2.95.2 19991024 (release)) #1 SMP Fri Nov 3 09:38:59 GMT 2000? identifies
the software release.
I have chosen to use an FTP server as the method of installing from the CDs
and get the following when checking the input parameters (apologies for
the
formatting) ?

On pressing F10 Yast accesses folder /cd/suse/setup/descr several times and
displays the message ?Note: found no kernel images on server!?. A panel
headed ?Reading description files ?? is displayed containing the messages
?Base system: unknown?, ?Source media: SuSE-Linux-US-S390 7.0.0-0?, ?1607
packages on installation medium...?, etc. and then the main menu appears.
If
I select the ?Load configurations? option here I get the message ?There are
no configurations available?. I am thus unable to generate an instance
which
I can write to disk and boot from.
I have checked the CDs using Windows Explorer and FTPing from VM and the
Linux starter system and as far as I can tell all looks ok ? the kernel
images are there in /suse/images and descriptions in /suse/setup/descr. I
can download objects in these directories to VM or the Linux starter system
using FTP.
As a further approach I have copied the contents of CD1 to the hard drive
of
the FTP server (into a directory called (Linux)and attempted the
installation from there with similar results. Also copying the
/suse/setup/descr directory to the linux directory removes the ?folder not
found? message when checking the ftp-server settings but does not cure the
problem.
