At the risk of sounding stupid, I am have difficulty in installing RedHat 7.2 on my G4 VM System. (no comments on the hardware please, its all we have) I downloaded all the files from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/s390 including .img, RPMS, SRPMS and copied them to a SuSE 7.0 Server. I created 3 disks on VM for the operating system. An 800 cylinder Swap disk (150) A 3338 cylinder file system disk (151) Another 3338 cylinder file system disk (152) I run the Redhat exec which loads the KERNAL IMG, REDHAT PRM, and INITRD IMG files to the reader and then IPLs the reader. I define the system and launch a telnet session and run loader. I specify an FTP installation with a non-anonomous userid. Netstg1.img loads and I define my devices, root password, and userid. When I select OK, i get: +-----------+ Reading +-----------+ | | | Reading package information... | | | +---------------------------------+ A few seconds later I get: +------------+ Exception Occurred +-------------+ | | | An unhandled exception has occured.

Any help would be appreciated. I might also add that I do have several SuSE 2.2.16 s390 systems up and running on the same box but was instructed to load the Redhat system for the 2.4 kernal. Lee C.
