The s390 CD images are a bit strange anyway as they are not really intended to be installed from, more as alternative sources for after the installation. It is possible to boot the installer from CD, but you'll still be doing the same installation from the network as with a "normal" install using generic images. > 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). No idea here but it does not sound like a wget problem, nor a hercules problem. I use Hercules myself without any issues, both using a mirror on a different system in my local network and official Debian mirrors. This would be a question for the hercules mailing list maybe. But you should first recheck your networking setup. > Another problem was with file system, xfs doesn't work, only ext3. I've never tried XFS on s390. If you can find out what exactly is wrong from the logs or by trying commands manually we can look into it. We'd at least need an installation report [1] with a more detailed description of the problem. Cheers, FJP [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html#submit-bug
