Re: Lenny: Unable to mount initrd



Bastian,

Thank you for the help.

I uploaded the files using x3270-x11. See screenshots below. Yes I do use z/VM.

Yes! Etch does it too, even for non s390 initrd. Those compressed cpio
images are not working for me at s390, it only works if I convert
compressed cpio to compressed ext2 fs.

See the md5 of the files I'm using:
6b5916fd12e2cba507aa0c1c30bddd5e  debian.exec
e44c86d77a98828dd2a2cd98317aa7aa  initrd.debian.org
7d98a305248690ddcdec98736dacd864  kernel.debian
302e01bd4901aa2eb46eb2ce0eee826e  parmfile.debian.org

The complete output is at:
