Thank you for your reply... Could I maybe get that initrd2 file that you mentioned? I tried both rc2 and rc3 but neither liked my 9336 devices. I installed Debian before but I CTC connected it and then converted it to QDIO. It just seemed like this should be easy enough to start with QDIO connection, but I haven't had the best of luck. Thanks again for your help.

However, my *real* suggestion is to forget Woody and try installing using Sarge and Debian-installer. You'll get a much-closer-to- current Debian system that way. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-s390/rc3/ images/ I haven't actually tried RC3 myself, but rc2 worked fine. I've heard some reports that virtual Hipersockets don't work but I have not been able to reproduce that.
