I need OpenSUSE on Hercules and have so far been unable to install either of these:

   openSUSE-Leap-15.6-DVD-s390x-Build710.3-Media
   openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-s390x-Snapshot20240819-Media


Months ago, I tried other releases/snap-shots. No joy then either.

I have tried supplying the kernel, INITRD, and parm file via 00C reader. Didn't work. I have also tried Hercules IPL from ".ins" file. After about 4 or 5 minutes, the run consistently ends with something like ...


   T1! ------------ cut here !------------


 ... sometimes followed by (what appears to be) a wait state code, sometimes not. In all cases the emulator stops with a disabled wait.

My preference is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, but Leap works "if I gotta".
I'd like to install to un-partitioned FBA, but I've switched to CKD in case FBA was/is causing the installer heartburn. I've also tried to change the device addresses to match what the samples have. Still nuttin, honey.

What am I doing wrong?
