Hello list,
1) Has anyone been able to install RHEL 7 on z?
2) Is there any documentation specific to System z?
I was able to download the two ISO images from rhn.redhat.com. I did not
see any documentation on the Web nor on the mounted ISO (perhaps I'm
missing it).
I tried the following
Successfully installed it last week. Key for me was root=live:nfs://... The
live was the important bit.

Hello
Hello Mike,
Here is the documentation for RHEL on z:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/part-installation-system-z.html
Let me know if you have any questions,
Kind Regards,
Filipe Miranda

Neale, Felipe,
Thanks for the quick replies. I got to the documentation on the Web and
will bookmark it.
In section 14.1 Customizing generic.prm, I don't see anything about
live:nfs://, nor root= (maybe I'm missing it).
In section 14.2 Considerations for Hard Drive Installation on IBM System
z
You need to point it at the install.img file. Here's what I used (it needs to
spill at 80 characters):
root=live:nfs://repo.dev.sinenomine.net/export/repository/s390x/linux/RHEL/7/7.0/iso/images/install.img
ramdisk_size=131072
I thought I saw somewhere that RHEL 7 needed an EC12 levelset... I can't find
it offhand right now... Anyone else...

No, z196 or better.

Mike,
Use this as an example:
ro ramdisk_size=4 cio_ignore=all,!condev
ip=10.16.105.69::10.16.111.254:21:train6.redhat.com:enccw0.0.0600:none
rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602,layer2=0,portname=FOOBAR
nameserver=10.16.46.224 nameserver=10.16.36.29
rd.dasd=0.0.0100
Hello Stuart,
The architecture level for RHEL7 is z196/z114 and above - no z10 support from
this point forward (z10 only with RHEL5 and RHEL6)
Kind Regards,
Filipe

Yes, that's the magic charm. Thanks!
