Let me give more details about what I am doing.
1. I did a download of ISO dvd-1 for Linux Debian S390.
2. Prepare a local repository with this DVD. The idea with
the local repository is to track the log in the Linux 390 and
in the repository.
3. Configure the repository with Apache2 and sign Release file
to have Release.gpg signed by me. This is necessary for network
install.
4. Do IPL with the following parameters at hercules.cfg (I am using
hercules-3.0.5):
000C 3505 ./rdr/linux_vm ./rdr/parmfile ./rdr/root.bin
autopad eof
All files come from DVD.
5. Configure the network during the Linux 390 IPL until receive the
following message:

6. I do ssh installer@192.168.2.10 and receive the terminal to
continue the installation.
7. Go to shell and install my archive.gpg to force the installation
accept my local repository. The repository is made using the
DVD-1 for S390. I did this repository for i386 and work fine.

8. Now, I am ready to continue the installation from "Star menu" and
the system
ask me for "[!] Choose a mirror of the Debian archive" and I
answer
"enter information manually" to 192.168.2.103.
After this point, I get the following messages in the syslog of
Linux 390:

The installation do not go ahead from this point and ask me for
another repository.
The uname -a give me:
Linux linux390 2.6.18-6-s390 #1 SMP Sat Jan 26 08:41:55 UTC 2008 s390
unknown
And the directory with modules of RAM disk is:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-s390
I tried to install from a remote repository and it's worse, the
installation stop without any
message.
Thanks.
