What version of CentOS, and where did you find an installation
image? I looked around for one a year or so ago, but couldn't find one
that wasn't years out of date.
iirc, the CentOS folks used to maintain regular builds for
390/System z, but seem to have stopped some time ago. I guess there
aren't any mainframers active in the CentOS project anymore. (Sad to
say, that sort of thing is symptomatic of moribundity in a platform.)

Why no Solaris/Intel option?
