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).

Fixed by v2.6.29~16^2~5 ([S390] __div64_31 broken for CONFIG_MARCH_G5,
2009-03-18), apparently. Thanks for reporting and debugging.
