Hello,
I tried to boot rhel 7(s390x) on Redhat 8 as Host OS under Hercules 4.4.1.
Actually I am trying
RHEL8(host OS)---------->Hyperion tool(Hercules4.4.1) ----------> z/VM ---------------> RHEL 7(s390x)
I failed to complete the boot setup. Every time there is an error as below:
17:35:10 127.616005! RPC: Registered tcp transport module.

17:40:16 after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.

17:40:16 dracut:/#
The configuration is as below:
ARCHLVL z/Arch
FACILITY ENABLE BIT37 # FPEXT floating point extension
Needed to enable SUSE SLES 12 under
FACILITY ENABLE BIT44 # PFPO PFPO instruction # Hercules version 4.00 only
FACILITY ENABLE BIT45 # FAST_BCR_SERIAL
@wrljet No, using Hercules its not working till now. It seems really difficult to Installing rhel7 Server s390x in Hercules.
Is there any hope for working tutorial on it?
