I can't help with your install problem, but another source for the archives is http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html.
-----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Brock Sent: March 7, 2005 16:41 To: [email protected] Subject: SLES 9 install problem in LPAR Howdy, all, As we are thinking about running Linux on our 2086, I am trying to install Linux in an LPAR so we will have a system to play with while our proof-of-concept project is being planned. I have downloaded SLES 9 and burned it to CDs on my home Windows XP box, and I am trying to install from these CDs onto our z box. I have copied the contents of the CDs to my Windows 2000 desktop at my office. (Well, most of the contents, anyway.) I can boot the initial system from CD 1 and access the contents of the other CDs via FTP, but the install process ends with an uninformative message. Here is what happens: Load from CD goes OK. inst_source begins on the HMC. After various messages, I get the "Main Menu" I choose option 4: Start Installation or System Option 1: Start installation or update For "Choose Source Medium," I take Option 2: Network Then, Option 1: FTP After entering the IP address and signon parms, I get a message that the system is "Loading data into RAM disk" followed by a bunch of dots showing me that the install is progressing. Then I get the following message: *** An error occurred during the installation. Where can I look to find out what error occurred? Also, are there searchable archives of this list anywhere besides www2.marist.edu/htbin? I appreciate Marist hosting the list, but the archives are essentially unusable.
