What I've done, rather than copy all the files from each CD / ISO is to loop
mount the ISO files on an accessible system, and use them from there.
The mount would look something like:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/isos/suse9-64-CD1.iso /media/SuSE9-64/sles9/CD1
There's actually a specific set
Thanks. This is the method we've been trying to use. But we keep running out
of space (unpack's of rpm files).
We may try ext3 rather than reiser. I don't know if it will matter.

Worked a lot better with ext3. It actually completed and we're ipl'ing.
Thanks to all who responded on their method of installation.
I did not receive any service packs. I guess I'll need to use the Novell
customer care portal.

Hello.
We are trying to build a new linux/390 image from Debian/390 3.1.0 (Sarge)
and when we select LCS as network interface, at end of initial install we
can't access ethernet network, even no error message is received.
We did a test using same hardware (9672/OSA card/port) using an old image
We are running SLES8 and SLES9 as z/VM guest. We are about to install
SLES9x and I am creating the NFS install directory. Does anyone know if
there is a version of the mksles9root script that includes the 3 SLES9x
SP2 iso images? Thanks.

How are folks getting service pack 2 for SLES9 ?
I can only find SP1 from the Novell customer care portal.
Are you getting it from a SuSE site?

The information can be found under CORE of your release on portal.

Yes, this seems to be a frequent, but not 100% consistent problem. The
insmod/modprobe command segfaults during the load of the DASD driver(s),
leaving the disks unusable. The error message that gets generated
usually reports the problem as being in rmmod' though, which just
confuses things
Thank you again!

SuSE's response was to wait for the developer in-charge of PHP to
incorporate a release of PHP that supports 64bit systems. Meanwhile I
continue to sit idle. Would it be a bad thing to download and install the

Has anyone attempted to install SLES9 via FTP where the FTP server was a

If you have successfully accomplished this I would like to compare notes

One thing that appears pretty often in the Linux world are ISO images.
These are a bit tough to work with, in the absence of an already
functional system, on the mainframe.
So the idea would be to splat the ISO image onto FBA disk and then
define a minidisk to cover just the extents used by the
So the idea would be to splat the ISO image onto FBA disk and then
define a minidisk to cover just the extents used by the image, and
then treat the image from Linux as a raw FBA device with an iso9660
filesystem on it.
I've done this. Works.
Been thinking about it for YEARS, and finally
test - can't seem to append to the list

easier to configure and work with.

Hi list,
i just want to give a final update for this problem.
Some weeks ago, i tried to implement the VM shared kernel using SLES9.
But without success. So i asked SUSE, but SuSE does not support the VM
shared kernel !!! They said that if i want to use this option, i will
have to install a

At one time I activated the YOU server on our SLES9 guest. I want to
remove it now. I find that it has stashed away tons of rpms under
/var/s390.
I am inclined to trash and reclaim the space.
Anyone done this? Any adverse effects?
