I have hit a couple of obstacles using the Hercules images. Some seem to be related to me using a Windows Hercules rather than a Linux platform.
First was that the image expands into a full 3390-9 image which is over 8GB on NTFS. After dasdcopy this came back down to <500MB so it is now manageable. After just adding the volume to an existing Hercules config I found that the image must be on device 120 - I detected conflicts between Fedora and other distros I have in the same config file if the Fedora disk wasn't 120 !!. The latest glitch for me is that I cannot logon as root (or anyone for that matter) Here is a snip of the console log >>>> Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) Kernel 2.6.35.4-12.fc14.s390x on an s390x (console) s390 login: .root root c Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) Kernel 2.6.35.4-12.fc14.s390x on an s390x (console) s390 login: .install install c Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) Kernel 2.6.35.4-12.fc14.s390x on an s390x (console) s390 login: . c Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) Kernel 2.6.35.4-12.fc14.s390x on an s390x (console) s390 login: Something not quite right ?? I wanted to logon via the s390 console to get the ifconfig to match my local network. I would prefer to install from scratch - hopefully someone will respond to Neale's post.
