OK found my problem.    When I uploaded initrd.img, I didn't realize I had
a disk full error.  My bad.

Fixed that and everything comes up.  I have Fedora 15 installed.

Does SWAPGEN work with this?   What do you do regarding your swap
partitions?

I used vdisk for my swap disks and when I did a swapon, linux complained.

I just finished installing this morning on our z/VM system. What problems
are you having? All I did was:

 1.  Take 2 .img files from the website; Modified the parm file
 2.  Punched the files to the virtual reader of a 2GB virtual machine (it
probably would've worked with <1GB)
 3.  IPL'd and followed the prompts (note the initrd seems much larger
than in previous levels)
 4.  Used the VNC method of installation so I could specify the exact
partitioning I wanted

The /usr filesystem took up about 2.7GB using the "Web Server" template.

Hi all..

Trying to install Fedora 15 under z/VM.   Has anybody come up with a good
list of instructions on how to do this?    The only thing I've been able
to find is an install using Hercules.
