About a year ago, Viktor Mihajovski pointed out, that the virtio net
modules (and deoendencies) are missing, this is still the case.
For an installation to work via virt-install, you have to manually add
failover.ko, net_failover.ko and virtio_net.ko
(debian-10.9.0-s390x-netinst.iso) and set the right console (ttysclp0).
How do you do the latter? console=ttysclp0? But presumably that's not
valid everywhere. Are you seeing the steal_ctty failure otherwise? In
what environment?
These seem like really easy additions to make things work again (adding
them to the image).
I already did that for the next release
(https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/262). Feel
free to propose something similar for stable.
I'll put my workaround on of those wellknown portals during the day,
for anyone who is interested.
Given that ~no-one works on Debian s390x, people will need to step up
and fix things in Debian.
Kind regards and thanks
