You have to build the initrd yourself. Instructions are in the RELEASE-NOTES file: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/s390/RELEASE-NOTES Look for the "Adding OCO Modules to the Installation Program" section at the end of the file.
If you chose another network connection type, such as LCS, CTC, or IUCV, you won't need to do any of this.

The problem that I seeing is my network interface is never coming up so as best as I can tell I can not telnet or ssh to the system. By using the initrd from developer works should my "NIC" be recognized and thus I can proceed with the install? If so where on developer works would I find this. I have just been out there and I am not sure where to look for this second copy of initrd. Thanks!

Red Hat does not put the OCO drivers in their distribution. There is a "second initrd" for Red Hat on DeveloperWorks that you punch after the first one, and instructions are provided on how to move these drivers into your installed system. Since you already have a running SuSE system, you could use that one as a stepping stone to telnet to your new system. You can even use iptables on SuSE to do IP masquerading for the Red Hat system to reach its ftp server if your network topology requires that. Rob
