This goes long fine but ends with a message cant find /dev/root What next?
how do I get to have the dev dir creted on the new file system?
Many thx..
To do the install I downloaded the ISO to my x86 machine, and used the
x86 httpd server to perform the install.
With the httpd server running and the ISO mounted at a location httpd
could access.
mkdir /var/www/html/install/DVD1/
mount -o loop Fedora-Server-DVD-s390x-23.iso
/var/www/html/install/DVD1/
I started hercules and issued this command to begin the install;
ipl ks-lvm.ins
where ks-lvm.ins is:

images/kernel.img 0x00000000
images/initrd.img 0x02000000

It was over a month ago that I did this, but I think these are what
worked for me
after a good bit of trial and error.

Community Linux Working Group as apart of the Open Mainframe
Project
by Sarah Julia Kriesch
Hi,
there is a discussion about the creation of a Community Linux Working Group for all community Linux distributions runnable on IBM Z.
That is a result of the first step by Debian together with the Open Mainframe Project. I asked for something equal to that for openSUSE in the next step.
Elizabeth suggested then to convert this idea to one Working Group for all of us and I want to ask you, whether anybody of the existing s390x team at Fedora wants to join this discussion.
This Working Group should also provide us better support in the future. We want to have equality.
Additional ideas are welcome for this next discussion at the TAC meeting, October 14th 2021 at 1:00 pm US Eastern Time.
These TAC meetings are available for such ideas and approvals for the Open Mainframe Project as part of the Linux Foundation.
In my case, I asked our openSUSE Board for being allowed to be a Community Representative in this decision making process.
I would suggest you to do that equal with the Fedora Council.
Best regards,
Sarah J. Kriesch
