# Arch Linux s390x Port - ${{ github.event.inputs.version }}
**🎉 First successful Arch Linux port to IBM s390x mainframe architecture!**
${{ github.event.inputs.release_notes }}
## 📊 Build Information
- **Kernel Version**: ${{ env.KERNEL_VERSION }} (${{ env.KERNEL_SIZE }})
- **Initramfs**: ${{ env.INITRAMFS_SIZE }} with native s390x binaries
- **Busybox Version**: ${{ env.BUSYBOX_VERSION }} (statically compiled on z/VM)
- **Architecture**: IBM s390x (big-endian mainframe)
- **Status**: ✅ **Fully functional** - boots to emergency shell
## 📦 Release Contents
This release includes:
- **vmlinuz-linux-s390x**: Bootable Linux kernel for s390x architecture
- **initramfs-linux-s390x.img**: Complete initramfs with s390x busybox and utilities
- **busybox-s390x-static**: Static busybox binary (2.3MB, built on z/VM)
- **Boot configuration files**: IPL configuration for s390x mainframes
- **BUILD_INFO.txt**: Detailed build information
- **SHA256SUMS**: Checksums for all artifacts
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Test with QEMU s390x:
```bash
# Download and extract
tar -xzf archlinux-s390x-${{ github.event.inputs.version }}.tar.gz
# Install QEMU s390x emulation
sudo pacman -S qemu-system-s390x # Arch Linux
# or
sudo apt install qemu-system-s390x # Ubuntu/Debian
# Run the system
qemu-system-s390x \
-machine s390-ccw-virtio \
-cpu max \
-m 2G \
-kernel vmlinuz-linux-s390x \
-initrd initramfs-linux-s390x.img \
-append "console=ttyS0 init=/init" \
-nographic
```
### Deploy to real IBM mainframe:
- Use the provided IPL configuration files
- Boot files are ready for z/VM or LPAR deployment
## ✅ What Works
- **Complete boot chain**: IPL → kernel → initramfs → emergency shell
- **Native s390x binaries**: All components built for mainframe architecture
- **Filesystem operations**: Mount, unmount, and basic file operations via busybox
- **IBM hardware support**: DASD, QETH, channel I/O drivers included
- **Console access**: Both 3215 and 3270 terminal support
## 🔧 Technical Achievements
- **Cross-compilation infrastructure**: Fedora containers with s390x toolchain
- **mkinitcpio adaptation**: Modified for cross-architecture initramfs building
- **Static linking solution**: z/VM native compilation eliminates dynamic library issues
- **Architecture compatibility**: Pure s390x environment without x86_64 contamination
