device mapper on qemu / Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1

[Mike Stramba <mikestramba@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all

I am trying to run zipl on:

 Linux version 5.4.0-125-generic (buildd@bos02-s390x-015) (gcc version 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1)) #141-Ubuntu SMP 

which is running under qemu (version 6.2.0 (Debian 1:6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.6)

Is running  zipl_helper.device-mapper under qemu possible ?

If it is, here are the details :

---------------------

sudo zipl

I am receiving the following errors 

:
