Knut: Danke. I did update the P/390 software to the 2.5.1 level and have now gotten the kernel to initialize, so it's now on to the next step of transferring and installing the remainder of the files.

But I dont know what Debian requires in addition.

Hi: I am trying to revive an old PC Server P/390 that I have had sitting idle for some time. I have successfully installed VM/ESA 2.4 on it and have it running fine. I have downloaded the disks of the latest Debian Linux/390 distribution and am in the process of installing it under VM/ESA. When attempting to IPL the Debian kernel from the VM reader, I am getting a program check loop. I think I have taken all the needed steps, but since documentation on the combination of P/390, VM/ESA and Debian Linux/390 is somewhat sketchy, I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if I need to make changes to my system. Has anyone out there managed to do this before? Any suggestions? For those of you who might suggest I move to z/VM, please be aware that the P/390 is only capable of supporting the 390/ESA architecture. TIA.
