RE: Problem while installing RH 7.1 on s390x - error mounting /dev/loop0

Hmmm.  There are no .iso images for the Red Hat Linux/390 or zLinux
distributions.  Only individual binary RPM files.  Also, the Linux/390
version is 7.2, not 7.1.  So, that leads me to believe that what you're
seeing is the result of trying to load Intel kernel modules on an ELF-s390x
system.  The binary magic number is different to distinguish between
architectures.

If you go to ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/s390x/ you can
download the Beta code for Red Hat's zLinux distribution.  I don't believe
they've assigned it a version number yet.

Subject: [Redhat-s390-list] 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. (VM 
type linux image) (64 bit, hence s390x). I have downloaded the iso images 
and used FTP type installaion.

After the FTP info is given I see "retrieving RedHat/base/netstg1.img" for a

while and then I get the error: ""Error mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/runtime 
(Device or resource busy). This shouldn't happen, and I'm rebooting you 
system now."
On the x3270 console I could see the following lines:
/tmp/raid1.o: ELF file /tmp/raid1.o not for this architecture
/tmp/xor.o: ELF file /tmp/xor.o not for this architecture
/tmp/raid5.o: ELF file /tmp/raid5.o not for this architecture

From the mailing list all I infer is a suggestion that the files might have 
been corrupt.

Has any one come across a similar scenario or does any one have 
suggestions/solutions?


Thanks in advance,
Srik
