Current stable kernels should work fine.

Probably because you use a different compiler version.

Hmm.  These are the same symptoms as Debian bug report number 523942.
Does that mean that stock kernel image linux-image-2.6.26-2-s390
version 2.6.26-19 will work for me?  I've been continuing to build a
custom kernel with make-kpkg every time there's an update to the kernel
as my only circumvention.  Don't ask me why the version created by
make-kpkg works but the stock kernel image doesn't work, but that's how
I've been circumventing the problem.  I'd really like to get back to
a stock kernel if I can.

I can confirm this. Just installed a new guest successfully. This wasn't
possible with the previous version of the installer images.

With the stable point release that's now available from the mirrors, s390 
should be installable again for Lenny.

Note that new CD images with the fixed version will only become available 
sometime in the next few days.

There already is a 64-bit kernel available (just install the -s390x kernel 
image package) in past and current Debian releases.

The kernel team has just dropped support for 31-bit systems in unstable 
[1], so Debian Installer will start using and installing a 64-bit kernel 
by default for the next stable release (Squeeze).
Whether this will also result in changing the userland to 64-bit I don't 
know.

FJP

Frans,

Thank you again for your help.

The option in DEBIAN PARMFILE corrected the installation and everything 
worked perfectly.

Taking the message, I wonder if there is a forecast for there is a 64bit 
version of Debian on System z, you have any idea?

I can confirm this. If I install the Lenny kernel on an already installed
Hercules system (running unstable) I also get the panic, so it clearly is
a kernel issue, not an installer issue.

There has been one s390 specific patch included in the latest kernel:
* [s390] Fix __div64_31 for CONFIG_MARCH_G5 (Closes: #511334)
but that patch was very well tested, including on my Hercules system, so I
would be surprised if that was the cause.

But it will definitely need to be investigated, but this will take time.
I'll see what I can do myself. I'll start with filing a bug report against
the kernel for this issue.

That is expected. The kernel version used in that image is no longer
available on the mirrors which means that the installer is unable to load
the additional installer kernel modules it needs.

Etch should still work. But I've just tried it and unfortunately there's a

You can work around this (and one other known issue) by adding the

With that I could successfully install Etch. You could then upgrade to

If you really want help from people on a Debian mailing list, you will 
really need to improve the way you ask your question...

1) Do not hijack an existing thread for an unrelated question!
   Do not reply to an existing mail, but send a new mail.
2) Do *not* CC individual people, only mail the list!
   See the Debian mailing list code of conduct [1].
3) Preferably do not use top posting when you reply to a mail [2].

4) Don't ask vague questions: they cannot be answered.
   * "kernel 2.6 version from yesterday"
 - what version exactly?
 - what debian release are you running (stable, testing, unstable)?
 - is it a security update or a "regular" package version?
   * "none of the mirrors are working"
 - that is *extremely* unlikely
 - which mirrors did you actually try?
   * what exact commands did you use?
   * what exact errors did you get?
 Make sure any output you include is in English!

> Can someone help me on same?

No sorry, I cannot help you because I really don't have a clue what your 
actual problem is.

I understand that asking a question in a different language than your own 
can be difficult, but please spend some extra time to make your problem 
clear to the people you ask for help. Try to avoid wasting *their* time!

And the most likely result is that you don't get an answer at all.

You can work around this (and one other known issue) by adding the
following two boot parameters [1]:
   suite=etch debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true

With that I could successfully install Etch. You could then upgrade to
Lenny, but obviously you'll have to be careful what kernel you install.

I'll file a bug report against the installer for the bad signature problem
so Etch installs can be fixed.

Cheers,
FJP

[1] I added them in the parmfile.debian.

Problem on Instalation of Debian Lenny

2009-07-08 Thread fgi
Hi Guys,

Well, I trying install Debian Lenny on System z on z/VM.
The first attempt was: I downloaded the essentials files from the official 
mirror ftp server (
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-s390/current/images/generic/
) but, the message "[17179570.468526] Kernel panic - not syncing: 
Attempted to kill init!" was displayed and the installation stop. (the 
file is attached)

Very well.. 
The next attempt was: I downloaded the essentials files from other release 
of lenny (the first release announced in 01/23/2009) (
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-s390/20090123+b1/images/generic/
) and the basic modules not found (the message bellow is displayed)

   â⤠[!!] Download installer components 
âââ
   â â
   â No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch â
   â between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the â
   â kernel version available in the archive. â
   â â
   â If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem 
â
   â by choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install â
   â will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules. â
   â â
   â Continue the install without loading kernel modules? â
   â â
   â â
   â â
 â

Well again not worked the installation..

I really need one help about this problem.. 

I have installed the Debian Etch a while ago, but today this version is 
not supported in mirrors, I did not find any mirror what work fine with 
this version.



Best regards,
