RE: [Redhat-s390-list] rhsetup and loader errors

["Post, Mark K" <mark.post@eds.com>]

The first problem is due to the fact that the format of /proc/dasd/devices
changed sometime between 2.4.7 and 2.4.9:
# uname -a
Linux linux.eds.com 2.4.7-10.dbgBOOT #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 13:15:51 CEST 2001

The rhsetup script is doing a grep on ':active' and not finding it now that
it is ': active' instead.  I don't experience the same problem you do when I
execute loader.  I am able to start retrieving files from my FTP server.

On a 9672 with VM/ESA 240, the installation of the RedHat linux for S/390
beta version never complete.


Using 'rhsetup', I received :

     # rhsetup
     DASD devices  found.
     /bin/rhsetup: syntax error: `(' unexpected
     get_all_dasds
     Stopped installation. No cleanup is done!
     #

Using 'loader', I received on the VM console of Linux userid the following
messages :

     # loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
     User process fault: interruption code 0x10
     failing address: 0
     CPU:    0
     Process loaderbin (pid: 47, stackpage=07579000)

     Error happens after choosing the ftp option on the first panel (ftp
,http,nfs). Message received was  " Memory fault "
                I start 'loader' with different memory size (32meg, 128meg,
256meg) but I received every time the task abend.
     Timestamp for initrd.img and kernel.img is 2001/10/24.

Any idea's

Jean François
