or what?

The installer uses it's own configuration, and AFAIK, does not always
configure the system the same way that it uses when installing.
Therefore, you may need to reconfigure the network manually.

1) Make sure the correct driver for the kernel is loading, most likely
this is already installed since you're running in a VM and most likely
it is using pretty standard hardware emulation.

2) Check the /etc/network/interfaces file and make sure the definition
for the network is correct. Most likely your problem is there.

I hope this helps.

There is an s390 mailing list that might give more detailed help.

Still, Joe Hart's suggestions are arch-generic and are the first
things that most people would tell you.
