We experienced similar problems. Our solution is to move the CD off of the ISO 9660 image and onto our internal FTP server (which can be your OS390 system). We then pointed the YAST install to the FTP site and installed away.
-----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dave Coulstock Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 3:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Suse-Linux 2.2.16 install from CD media kit - problem Thanks for all the replies re the above. It would seem that the problem is, as suggested, due to the incompatibilty of NT and the Rockridge Extension - I note that the CDs are marked "ISO-9660 Filesystem with Rockridge Extension". We are in the process of setting up an NFS server and this should overcome the problem. In the meantime I have FTPed some of the contents of CD1 to a partition (minidisk) within my Linux v/m and attempted the Yast "install from a reachable directory". Yast can now see the pre-genned kernel and configurations but the installation has errors ("can't get PREIN for cd1/suse/a1/aaa_base.rpm, aaa_dir.rpm, aaa_skel.rpm") and the generated kernel will not boot properly ("No inittab file found"). Still it's progress of a sort and seems to prove the Rockridge point. Once again thanks.
