No login prompt (HOB 3270 terminal emulation) with debian s390x running on hercules

[smather]

Hello everybody,

for a project at work i try to run debian s390x (actual release) on hercules
3.07.
This is no problem at all but i need a 3270 terminal session (i need to
check some stuff using DCOM
with the HOB-Link terminal emulator).


With the command

#chccwdev -e 0.0.001f (the terminal runs at adress 001F)

i get a connection to the terminal (the screen is switching from hercules
welcome screen to white)

but i do not get a login prompt (the modules for the kernel fs3270.ko is
running, the rest is build in).


What do i need to get a login prompt for a shell login from the terminal
emulator (i already entered

'T0:23:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty0.0.001f' in the /etc/initab, also i tried
agetty and mingetty)?

Is there a posibility to run #chccwdev -e 0.0.001f at system boot (i already
tested a script in
rcS.d)?


Greetings and thanks in advance

Touch a file in /etc/sysconfig/hardware. See the existing ones as an example
(and the initialization scripts in sysconfig-hardware for further
documentation). You might want to "update-initramfs -k all -u" afterwards.
