I finally got the Graphical installer working using X but now when I try to Install Linux on my DASD I end up with DASD accessed R/O when it was initially all R/W. No Matter what option I use I always end up with this error.
Just prior to connecting to the new Linux to perform the install all DASD looks like this Activated DASDs: 0.0.0150(ECKD) dasdb : active, blocksize: 4096, 54000 blocks, 210 MB 0.0.0151(ECKD) dasdc : active, blocksize: 4096, 1746000 blocks, 6820 MB 0.0.0160(FBA ) dasdd : active, blocksize: 512, 524288 blocks, 256 MB 0.0.0161(FBA ) dasde : active, blocksize: 512, 1048576 blocks, 512 MB Initial configuration completed. After I do the basic installation steps and create a custom layout /boot on 150 / on 151 Swap on 160 Swap on 161 In the end I always get an error that a device is R/O and the process can't continue /dev/dasdx is marked as R/O Then all stops and I can't move forward.

The Text Only installation mode won't let you define the disks as you mentioned (at least during my tests it did not let me do it) About VNC: How did you setup your PARM file? vnc vncpassword=XXXX mpath (does it look like this at the end?) also when it asks you to connect via ssh, did you use the ssh -x install@IP ("-x") ? - Filipe Miranda On Feb 19, 2013, at 12:45 PM, "Davis, Larry (National VM Capability)" <larry.dav...@hp.com<mailto:larry.dav...@hp.com>> wrote: > I am trying to install Linux on z and RHEL 6.3 Test mode installation assumes > a lot. > I want to allocate specific /dev/dasdx to specific mount points > > /dev/dasda to /boot > /dev/dasdb to / > /dev/dasdc to swap > > Is there a way to do this I can't seem to get X Windows working or VNC. > > > > Larry Davis, > VM Capability > HP Enterprise Services > Tel: +1 813 394 4240 > E-mail: > larry.dav...@hp.com<mailto:larry.dav...@hp.com<mailto:larry.dav...@hp.com<mailto:larry.dav...@hp.com>> > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > email to lists...@vm.marist.edu<mailto:lists...@vm.marist.edu> with the > message: INFO LINUX-390 or > visit > http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For more information on Linux on System z, visit > http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu<mailto:lists...@vm.marist.edu> with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
