Not sure what I was doing wrong before but now all seems good - the install is running now. So I now have ArmedSlack running in Qemu and soon hopefully will have Slack/390 under Hercules - very cool Slackware overdose! Thanks again for the help.

Great blog BTW. I have managed to get Slackware S390 working once before under Hercules but I'm trying it again and are having head scratching problems. I have tried the extra steps mentioned by Robert above but still no joy - I am forever getting networking problems when the install tests the IP addresses like this : Pinging the eth0 interface PING 192.168.1.162 (192.168.1.162): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.162: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=2.7 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.162: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.3 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.162: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.6 ms --- 192.168.1.162 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.3/1.2/2.7 ms Pinging the gateway PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Network is unreachable Pinging the DNS server(s) PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Network is unreachable I cannot ping all the interfaces needed to make this work.
