I don't think he was running in z/VM though... The two things I see as possible problems are that you didn't run mkinitrd before running zipl. The mkinitrd needs to know about the disks as well, based on your current chroot'ed paths. This is my absolute favorite mistake, and I've recovered from it dozens (and dozens) of times.... I do not learn quickly.
The second, and it may have just been missed, would be that, once you've mkinitrd && zipl'ed, you didn't mention getting out of the chroot environment, unmounting the paths and taking the devices offline again to Linux. Just jerking them out from beneath the system may have left them in an undesired state. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation .~.
