How did you start it? I couldn't manage to make it start (with qemu from
unstable or from stable), I only got the kernel start and a couple of
lines. I was taking

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/initrd.debian
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/kernel.debian

and run 

qemu-system-s390x -kernel /tmp/s390x/kernel.debian -initrd /tmp/s390x/initrd.debian -m 1G -serial stdio

and got

[..kernel logs..]
[    4.349417] Run /init as init process

and nothing more.
