Karsten -
I downloaded the installation images and booted using Hercules 3.07 (from SVN)
and everything went well until anaconda crapped out during "Examining storage"
(or a similar message). I had allocated four empty 3390-9's which ought to be
enough. I can post the logs here or is it best to pursue this somewhere else?

Hi Robin.
Were those completely fresh DASDs? If so, then anaconda should have
asked you if it should initialize them (via dasdfmt). If that happened
then you most likely got hit by the bug i described in point 10:
10) After a while if you do this the 1st time you will be asked to
confirm to low level format the
drive. Do this as this has to happen for a first time image. If you
reuse an old image you
won't be bothered with this anymore.
We've had some cases where with a completely fresh image even
partition would traceback. In that
case simply restart the install from step 7) onwards and it should
work.
So simply said, you just need to restart the install once more after the
dasdfmt has happened, then it should work.
Hope that helps,
Thanks & regards, Phil
PS: We're working on a fix for that already, but it'll take a bit to get
it tested and upstream in anaconda.
