I got it figured out. It all depends on how you ssh into the guest to finish the installation. If you ssh from a graphical environment it will set to the TERM=xterm-256-color, this will result in TERM=dumb being put on the kernel line after the install because of this code in the /usr/share/YaST2/modules/BootArch.rb elsif Arch.s390 termparm = if ENV["TERM"] == "linux" "TERM=linux console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1" else "hvc_iucv=8 TERM=dumb" end If I ssh in from a text console...say tty2, it will set the TERM=linux during the install because of this code that was added in 2012: This will result in TERM=linux set on the kernel line after the install. Thu Jun 28 14:36:08 CEST 2012 - [email protected] - set TERM=linux for 2nd stage services, to keep ncurses nice (bnc#768356) - 2.22.9 So the mystery is solved.
