I have been successful in installing RedHat 7.2 with the initrd.img file
(2.4.9-37) and associated parm files for a qeth network
connection. This was accomplished with the script
"RHSETUP" This script however does NOT give me an option to perform a
custom install. From previous experience with the IUCF
connection, I know that the script "LOADER" does give me that option.
I am attempting install Linux RedHat 7.2 with a qeth network connection on
our VM/Machine and am getting the following message when I attempt to use
"LOADER".
I receive a message that netstg1.img is being loaded then I receive:
Running anaconda - please wait
Nothing else happens after that.
The VM/Console has the following messages:
loop: loaded (max 8
devices)
VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev loop(7,0).
md: raid0 personality registered as nr 2
md: raid1 personality registered as nr 3

Earlier in the IPL of the linux machine I do get the
following messages. I don't know if they have anythig to do
with the problem at hand or not.
