Mainly, you're trying to install a decade-old operating system that wasn't in 
very good shape to start with.  Try downloading a current version of RHEL or 
SLES and you're much more likely to be successful.

The suggestion to subscribe to linux-390 by Miklos is a good idea also.  That's 
where most of the mainframe Linux people hang out.
