Hi Mike, I have been installed Fedora 18 on Hercules. Fedora install is equal on all plataform. Please look this:
Prepare hercules : ================ - Edit /etc/hercules/hercules.cnf and change ARCHMODE if needed : - ESA/390 for s390 - ESAME for s390x - Create HD image : dasdinit -z /var/lib/hercules/linux.120 3390-3 lin000 (substitute -lpf or -0 for -z if you wish to use a non-compressed image) - Mount the first installation CD - Run : hercules-run - Start installation : ipl /media/cdrom/generic.ins Note that when running Hercules, all commands sent to the OS must be prefixed by a dot. When not prefixed, commands are sent to Hercules itself (like "ipl"). OS installation example steps : ============================= Which kind of network device do you intend to use: .ctc Enter the bus ID and the device number of your CCW devices: .0.0.0600,0.0.0601 Enter the FQDN of your new Linux guest: .s390.localdomain Enter the IP address of your new Linux guest: .192.168.200.3 Enter the network address of the new Linux guest: .255.255.255.252 Enter the IP of your CTC / ESCON / IUCV point-to-point partner: .192.168.200.4 Select which protocol should be used for the CTC interface: .0 Enter your DNS server(s), separated by colons (:): .192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2 Enter your DNS search domain(s) (if any), separated by colons (:): .localdomain Enter DASD range (e.g. 200-203 or 200,201,202,203): .000-200 -- Alternatively, you can copy initrd.img and kernel.img from your installation media into /etc/hercules and start the installation via 'ipl 00c', which uses the virtual punch card defined in hercules.cnf and auto-fills in most of the networking options for you, based on the contents of /etc/hercules/generic.prm. -- Use "telnet 192.168.200.3" and log in as "root" with no password (press enter). The installation will start automatically. Here is working fine. -- Bruno J. N.
