I downloaded the DVD ISO to my Linux/Intel Fedora 17 - x86_64 system. I
tried to IPL the ISO using Hercules/390. I did a loop-back mount of the
ISO to a directory, then did the Hercules/390 command:
ipl /path/to/dev/generic.ins
I got a lot of messages to the hercules console. The last ones that look
good are:
82.265996! dracut: rd.dm=0: removing DM RAID activation
82.403817! dracut: rd.md=0: removing MD RAID activation
Followed by the following messages, in a loop until I quit hercules
<loop type="unending">
dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue
dracut Warning: /dev/root does not exist
What's in your parm file (or used kernel boot parameters in general)?
Does this help assuming you haven't seen any other errors before the
failing root-fs mount?:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x/17#Release_Notes
The specification of the initramfs representing the installer's root-fs
has changed significantly and most of linuxrc.s390 is gone so mostly
only dracut is left for "init" like bringup of anaconda.
