Package: debian-installer Severity: important S390 boot fails (sometimes just after detecting memory, sometimes after detecting devices) on z/VM 5.2 and a Flex-ES machine.
Since there are reports of d-i working on z9 boxes, I suspect the issue is that the kernel is built to exploit later System z functionality. At least for d-i the basic 31-bit-no-frills architecture should be selected as the s390 kernel (and basic 64-bit for s390x, e.g. z900), with options for kernels that exploit later additions to the architecture for installation (ideally based on detected machine type). -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 Architecture: s390 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
