Phil,

 

Which version of Hercules are you using?  I imagine if you are using the new FP stuff in hercules you are higher than SVN 7709

 

I am using SVN 7704 with no issues running FC15 / yum or anything else..  

 

I would shut-down hercules and make a backup copy of the Hercules DASD that you installed FC15 on before continuing so you do not have to go through the install again if things break later. 

 

This Hercules Disk image you created for FC15 hopefully has network connectivity through a CTC or LCS device and has access to the internet.  If that is all working correctly – I would do a yum update which should install the updates to the packages you have installed in your system.  I ran into a couple of dependency issues with my initial yum update and needed to remove some packages – I needed to remove these packages installed from the FC15 initial which I believe is what you did – These packages are not required on s390x arch 

 

rpm -e gnome-bluetooth

rpm -e gvfs-obexftp

rpm -e gdm-plugin-fingerprint

 

You should also be able to do a yum install for any packages that that are missing to compile the code using GCC

 

yum install gcc should pull in these packages

FC15 uses init.d script for legacy startup – but most startup items are controlled through systemd – man systemctl will give you some insight to the newer init.d process used for FC15 – also check this link for additional information on debugging the system startup
