I found the FEDORA files I needed at this website: http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/17/Fedora/s390x/os/images/
and downloaded: ascii get generic.prm get redhat.exec locsite fix 80 binary get kernel.img get initrd.img Then I ran the exec to IPL from the reader and things looked pretty good at first. But... then I got this message: [ 0.176357] Unpacking initramfs... [ 2.318203] Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive [ 2.320799] Freeing initrd memory: 18750k freed Followed a bit later with this one: [ 24.539091] dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue [ 24.539322] dracut Warning: /dev/root does not exist dracut Warning: /dev/root does not exist I don't understand what the problem is, can someone point me in the right direction?
