Hmm. I must have missed the announcement of the s390x release. When was that? I'll have to add it to the main page on linuxvm.org.

Red Hat has two released products: Red Hat Linux 7.2 for S/390 (31bit): ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/s390/ Red Hat Linux 7.1 for zSeries (64bit): ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/s390x/ We have completely untested and unsupported and probably horrible broken uploads at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/s390*. If you don't already know how to look at those, please don't start doing this. greetings, Florian La Roche > > Mark Post > > > -----Original Message----- > From: SRIKRISHNAN SUNDARARAJAN [mailto:ssrikrishnan@hotmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 1:49 PM > To: redhat-s390-list@redhat.com > Subject: Problem while installing RH 7.1 on s390x - > error mounting /dev/loop0 > > > I'm trying to install RH 7.1 on a VM on a 64 bit IBM zSeries machine.
