I can't use mksles9root.sh on a z/OS - Unix Systems Services system, because it doesn't have the ability to do the loopback mounts of the ISO images. Instead, I burned the CDs from the ISO images and used pscp to make those "CDs" in HFS files on my z/OS system. Then, using mksles9root.sh as a guide, I created the symbolic links.
I also created the YaST order and instorder files. I created them in EBCDIC and ran iconv against them to convert from IBM-1047 to ISO8859-1. I do see a _potential_ problem there - when I browse them within the USS system after conversion, instead of looking like two lines of text, it looks like one line with x'0A' (ASCII Line Feed) between the two entries. I tried creating this in a Windows Notepad and transferring it as well but in text mode - same result. What is the "line end" in Linux, '0D0A'x or just '0A'x?

Did you use Mike MacIsaac's mksles9root.sh script to create the directory structure? The errors you're receiving can be the result of not having all the proper symlinks, etc. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Hare Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 5:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Checking with the experts... -snip- I created /sles9xroot and in the dialog on the HMC with the install system I gave it that directory. It is also the home directory of the user I gave the dialog. The FTP log shows it retrieving /sles9xroot/content in ASCII /sles9xroot/boot/root in binary /sles9xroot/content _again_ in binary this time /sles9xroot/media.1/info.txt in binary /sles9xroot/control.xml in binary before (I think) the failure message occurs.
