I'm compiling the kernel for next-20230726 using the s390 cross compiler from kernel.org and the config you linked. Then booting with qemu-system-s390x (tried both distro's 4.2.1 and locally built 8.0.3) and the initrd you provided (tried passing it compressed and uncompressed), but I'm always getting a kernel panic due to not finding a rootfs:

$ qemu-system-s390x \
-display none \
-nodefaults \
-M s390-ccw-virtio \
-kernel arch/s390/boot/bzImage
-initrd ../s390-rootfs.cpio.zst \
-m 512m \
-serial mon:stdio

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Do I need to specify something on the kernel command line? (I've tried root=/dev/ram0, but get the same result).

Thanks,
