I: Debian install on s390 from FTP

[Casetta, Giacomo]

   I install Debian to s390.

   The problem born when I try to Install Kernel and Driver Modules, I 
 need FTP connection, but the dbootstrap don't start FTP.
 
 
   Can you help me!
 
 
   thanks in advance.

linux 2.6.8 for s390

[Bastian Blank]

The linux 2.6.8 kernel image for s390 got accepted.

This images are built with initrd enabled. This makes it possible to IPL
via zfcp but you have to specify the options for dasd and/or zfcp in
/etc/modprobe.d.

Also there is currently nothing to configure the network devices via
sysfs, this have to be done by hand. A short example:
| echo 0.0.7000,0.0.7001  /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/ctc/group  
| echo 1  /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices/0.0.7000/online  

I may try to get them into testing.

Bastian
