Closed amitbatajoo closed 2 years ago

amitbatajoo commented 2 years ago

Hello team.

I am trying to create zLinux vm for rhel7(s390x) on Redhat 8 as host OS but unable to setup. I am learning to user Hercules. If anyone know the configuration / manual/ tutorial. Please help me. Every time, setup ends with Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell

dracut:/

I cannot boot and run installer on Rehel7 s390x running under Hercules 4.4.1. Anyone please share working Hercules config script to setup rhel7???

This is probably better asked on one of the group lists. Such as: https://hercules-390.groups.io/g/group

That said, here's the .cnf I used for Ubuntu zLinux two years ago:

@wrljet Thanks for the suggestion and sample .cnf. Actually, I have already worked for Ubuntu and SUSE. But the problem is unable to setup rhel7 zLinux on redhat. I will try ask to the group as you suggested.

Thank you.

For what it's worth, I was going to try to install zLinux RHEL7 to help you, but it wanted a login to download the ISO. So I just grumbled and gave up. :-)

@wrljet Thanks again for your kind effort. You can just crate free account and login and access 60days trial ISO file. Thanks again.
