Problem on Instalation of Debian Lenny

[fgi-2]

Hi Guys,

Well, I trying install Debian Lenny on System z behavior z/VM.
The first attempt was: I downloaded the essentials files from the official mirror ftp server (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-s390/current/images/generic/) but, the message "[17179570.468526] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" was displayed and the installation stop.

Very well..
The next attempt was: I downloaded the essentials files from other release of lenny (the first release announced in 01/23/2009) (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-s390/20090123+b1/images/generic/) and the basic modules not found (the message bellow is displayed)

   âââââââââââââââââ⤠[!!] Download installer components âââââââââââââââââââ
   â                                                                       â
   â No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch      â
   â between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the      â
   â kernel version available in the archive.                              â
   â                                                                       â
   â If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem  â
   â by choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install     â
   â will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.    â
   â                                                                       â
   â Continue the install without loading kernel modules?                  â
   â                                                                       â
   â     <Go Back>                                       <Yes>    <No>     â
   â                                                                       â
   âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ

Well again not worked the installation..

I really need one help about this problem..

I have installed the Debian Etch a while ago, but today this version is not supported in mirrors, I did not find any mirror what work fine with this version.



Best regards,

With the stable point release that's now available from the mirrors, s390
should be installable again for Lenny.

Note that new CD images with the fixed version will only become available
sometime in the next few days.

Cheers,

I can confirm this. Just installed a new guest successfully. This wasn't
possible with the previous version of the installer images.
