I could not get SVN 7704 to compile and didn't see where any snapshot archive where it was successfully created either.

You may have misunderstood. I haven't created any Fedora DASD. I have been using the 'turnkey images' of FC11 & FC14 available at:

While messing with some of this lately, I have discovered the hercules.init script located at the above link causes hercules to get a segmentation fault when specific choices are made during IPL. It works fine with FC11, but with FC14 if one selects one of the two choices 0 or 1 instead of letting the default linux kernel boot, a segmentation fault occurs. If left to time out, the default kernel starts to boot and continues until logon prompt is displayed.
So as to leave most of old stuff behind I tried to boot FC15 using the kernel.img, initrd.img & generic.prm from
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/secondary/releases/15/Fedora/s390x/os/images/
Using the hercules.init script mentioned above with minor changes for FC15 DASD and hercules version line, upon IPL of C, hercules gives a segmentation fault almost immediately. When I used an older version of hercules, or started hercules without the script ( don'r remember which one worked), I get to a point where it tells me a blacklist exists and do I want to clear it or continue. It also starts asking about a gateway IP address ??? Is that my Host OS leased IP address it grabbed via automagic means when I booted my host PC ?
Do I have to have the modules for TUN and brothers loaded ( via the hercules.init script ) in order to get access to anything from FC15 ?
