Description IBM Bug Proxy 2018-05-10 09:31:14 UTC
Comment 1 IBM Bug Proxy 2018-05-10 09:31:30 UTC 
---Problem Description---
Can't boot Fedora ISO under KVM.

KVM allows to boot virtual machines from an ISO with an s390 boot catalog. E.g., RHEL 7.5 can be booted from ISO under RHEL-Alt 7.5 or any other KVM with ISO boot support.
It would really be nice if this would work for Fedora as well. 
  
---uname output---
Linux s3560022.boeblingen.de.ibm.com 4.16.6-202.fc27.s390x #1 SMP Tue May 1 23:15:29 UTC 2018 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux
 
Machine Type = 3906-703 (IBM z14) 
 
---boot type---
CDROM / ISO image
 
---Install repository type---
CDROM
 
---Point of failure---
Failed during boot of installer
Comment 2 Dan Horák 2018-05-10 16:11:31 UTC 
What ISO image have you tried? The regular Fedora-Server-dvd-s390x-28-1.1.iso or the netinst one (Fedora-Server-netinst-s390x-28-1.1.iso)? The "netinst" is created with mk-s390-cdboot tool and should be directly bootable.

I've used the netinst ISO. Here's the console output from the start attempt

I think I see what's the problem, the master branch is missing https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/df35857c9bc59b27939e339a27855496114aa3e8
Comment 5 Brian Lane 2018-05-14 21:37:05 UTC 
Pushed this to master, it will be in lorax-29.3-1 and eventually in 28.11-1 when I backport lorax-composer
