Hi,
I am trying to install Debian on a Z800 IBM mainframe in a z/VM V5.2.0 guest. The mainframe has an OSA GIGE IP card for network access. I created “LINMSTR” user id in the user direct. I formatted a new pack for the Linux files. I downloaded & created these files and installed on the Linux machine.
PARMFILE DEBIAN A1 F 80 1 1 3/29/06 16:15:46 INITRD DEBIAN A1 F 80 21439 419 3/29/06 11:06:27 KERNEL DEBIAN A1 F 80 34999 649 3/29/06 11:05:53 PROFILE EXEC A0 V 56 22 1 3/29/06 9:19:03 LIN EXEC A1 V 38 9 1 3/29/06 8:55:17 LIPL EXEC A1 V 24 3 1 3/20/06 16:12:07 LINMSTR NETLOG A0 V 107 2 1 3/20/06 9:38:18 PROFILE XEDIT A0 V 24 11 1 7/05/05 12:19:57
This is what starts when I do a “LIN”. Linux version 2.4.27-2-s390 (waldi@raptor) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-6)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 26 14:15:27 CET 2005 We are running under VM ……..
This is the main menu for the Debian installer. Choose the next step in the install process: 1. Configure the network device [*] 2. Configure a network using static addressing 3. Continue installation remotely using SSH 4. Choose a mirror of the Debian archive 5. Download installer components 6. Execute a shell 7. Abort the installation Prompt: '?' for help, default=1>
I am trying to use the OSA GIGE card as my network connection.
Checking the Debian archive mirror ..100% Choose a mirror of the Debian archive
!! ERROR: Bad archive mirror
The specified Debian archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a
valid Release file on it. Please try a different mirror. [Press enter to continue]
Is there a way to install this without using a network connection?
Most software I install on the mainframe, does not need a network connection to install?
What you see is downloaded from the internet but I did buy a DVD of this also. I thought the DVD would help me with this install. I could not even find the VM files on the DVD.
This is my first LINUX install.
Thanks
