Frans,
Finally I get the Linux for S/390 installed and I would like to say
what I had todo, comment my mistakes so that
it can help others in the same task.
First of all, you can't use a repository with CDs because at least in
S/390 plataform you don't have the
debian-installer tree. This is the reason I received a message "no
kernel modules available" in the first
repository.
The second problem is really related with network. The network
configuration for Hercules is made using
TUN/TAP in a logical network. The way I configured is a bit different
from most advises I found at Internet.
I refuse to use iptables, in my concept I don't need. What I do is
configure two lines in /etc/sysctl.conf:
"net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1", to force the routing and second is
"net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp=1" to
force the tun0 external interface forward arp requests to go and forth
to hercules tap0 interface.
To make my external router to understand where is the tap0, I had to
include one route through tun0.
I did a lot of tests logged as "installer" in a shell at Hercules and
could get small files from Internet using
wget but only for files < 1k (I don't know why).
I did a mirror inside my local network using apt-mirror and the same
problem persist.
Another problem was with file system, xfs doesn't work, only ext3.
My last try was prepare a mirror in the same machine where Hercules is
running and finished successfully.
