Hi,

somehow I can't get the current Debain 3.1 snapshot to load on Hercules.

hercules.rc

ipl 581

Starting Hercules 3.01 (the Hercules from Sarge doesn't behave any
different), I get:

[...]
Mounted tape debian31.tdf
HHCTA998I Device 0581 : debian31.tdf is a Optical Media Attachment (OMA) tape
HHCTA100I 0581: Now Displays : READY
[...]
Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 ro
[...]
cramfs: wrong magic
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00

Any ideas?

Hi,

Thanks! That did it.

... until networking raised its ugly head.

My config says:

0A00 3088 CTCI /dev/net/tun 2000 192.109.102.44 192.109.102.34 255.255.255.255
0A01 3088 CTCI /dev/net/tun 2000 192.109.102.44 192.109.102.34 255.255.255.255

I answered the setup questions with the numbers appropriate for:
ctc 0a00-0a01 linux ctc0

... but now the emulator is sitting there, ostensibly waiting for a SSH
connection. Unfortunately it's not even pingable.

"ifconfig tun0" looks sane. In fact, the same setup works quite well for
my old woody DASD image. Unfortunately, said image got fried recently. :-/
