Which version of Hercules are you using? I imagine if you are using

FP stuff in hercules you are higher than SVN 7709
SVN 7731 - compiled 7747 this am but no testing done with it yetbbbbbbbbbbb
I am using SVN 7704 with no issues running FC15 / yum or anything
else..
I could not get SVN 7704 to compile and didn't see where any snapshot archive where it
was successfully created either.
I would shut-down hercules and make a backup copy of the Hercules
DASD that
you installed FC15 on before continuing so you do not have to go through the
install again if things break later.
You may have misunderstood. I haven't created any Fedora DASD. I have been using
the 'turnkey images' of FC11 & FC14 available at:
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/S390/
This Hercules Disk image you created for FC15 hopefully has network
connectivity through a CTC or LCS device and has access to the internet. If
that is all working correctly.....

While messing with some of this lately, I have discovered the hercules.init script located
at the above link causes hercules to get a segmentation fault when specific choices are
made during IPL. It works fine with FC11, but with FC14 if one selects one of the two
choices 0 or 1 instead of letting the default linux kernel boot, a segmentation fault
occurs. If left to time out, the default kernel starts to boot and continues until logon
prompt is displayed.
So as to leave most of old stuff behind I tried to boot FC15 using the kernel.img,
initrd.img & generic.prm from
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/secondary/releases/15/Fedora/s390x...
Using the hercules.init script mentioned above with minor changes for FC15 DASD and
hercules version line, upon IPL of C, hercules gives a segmentation fault almost
immediately. When I used an older version of hercules, or started hercules without the
script ( don'r remember which one worked), I get to a point where it tells me a
blacklist exists and do I want to clear it or continue. It also starts asking about a
gateway IP address ??? Is that my Host OS leased IP address it grabbed via automagic means
when I booted my host PC ?
Do I have to have the modules for TUN and brothers loaded ( via the hercules.init script )
in order to get access to anything from FC15 ?
