I'm trying to install SLES-11-SP3-s390x on Hercules 3.10, running on an AWS ec2 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 3 for x86_64 HVM (SSD-backed)).
I've only tried the base + minimal install so far. It runs all the way through the install, exits "cleanly" (bunch of MSCH errors on Hercules, which is apparently "normal" ????) When I try to ipl the root dasd (3390-9 uncompressed), it goes into a disabled wait state 15. I looked at the root boot sector with zzsa, and the ipl PSW *is* a disabled wait PSW. So it seems the boot sector is not getting written properly. No other errors in the hercules log file. I'm running it one more time, to see if I can poke around with debugfs and / or zzsa to see what's been written. I'll also try tracing the dasd channel writes. Will also try installing it locally, (removing one level of virtualization).
