Lee, It sounds as though you might have corrupted RPMs that you downloaded. On the system where the files reside, do an rpm --checksig command against all of the RPMS. If you don't have the gPGP or other PGP package installed it will only check the MD5 sums, and the output will look something like this: $ rpm --checksig zsh-4.0.2-2.s390.rpm zsh-4.0.2-2.s390.rpm: md5 GPG NOT OK The "NOT OK" is for the GPG signature, not the MD5 sum. If you do have one of those encryption packages installed, you'll have to import Red Hat's digital signature before running the --checksig.

(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.
