Anna, I've found it much, much easier to debug installation problems by using HTTP. The logging is much more detailed and very easy to figure out.
It's been a while since I did an RHEL4 install on the mainframe, but I'm pretty sure I merged the CD images into one install tree. In any case, you might want to look at the Virtualization Cookbook for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg247272.pdf Take a look at Chapter 6, in particular 6.2.4 on page 76.

Sorry - I am using FTP and loopback mounted ISOs just the way you described. And by "rhsetup" you mean the standard installer, anaconda, right? Not the s390-specific installer that nobody uses anymore? iirc rhsetup didn't support loopback-mounted ISOs via FTP/HTTP. well - if standard or not, I don't know ;-) - I never installed Linux before anywhere. After booting I invoke "rhsetup" just as described in the documentation ... regards Anna ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
