Hi,
I would like to discuss a toppic regarding the s390x supprt for Rocky Linux 9.x.
Kind regards,
Florian
What would you like to discuss? s390x is supported as a main architecture (not AltArch) in Rocky 9 + 10. Similar to the upstream RHEL and CentOS Stream.
@skip77 Maybe related to this: Try to install Rocky Linux s390x image under IBM z/VM on zPDT
No replies yet, so probably wondering about how many people use it on s390x or how can get the problem fixed if not many people using it.
Just a guess, at least until they come back and actually ask the questions 
I ried to install Rocky Linux under IBM z/VM but it fails starting sshd. Therefore I can not login as described with install@host and therefore the installer process does not go on, starting vnc. There is on the z/VM console no error message indicating why ssd does not start. So I am lost how to continue with the installation.
Yes, indeed. I thought I put that on the wrong forum.
Seems that not so much people using Rocky Linux on s390x.
If needed I could maybe support the team maintaining the s390x port.

Hi @skip77!
I asked a coworker who works at a hosting company and has played with Rocky on s390x under VM. He told me that he has also encountered similar problems with sshd not booting during install.
What he recommended:
- To check if the network interface is functional at that stage - if it has no IP or is not active, sshd can crash without leaving obvious errors.
- If you can access journalctl from the install environment, you might find a clue there.
All the best!
Unfortunately, there are not too much options. I see that the IP ist working, because the VM responds to pings.
I wanted to send the logs to a rsyslog server but it is nothing received. It seems to be too early in the process. As there is no shell the logs in /tmp aren‘t accessible.
The sshd is started via systemd in the squshfs?
