I think this is your problem: Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 ro It's telling the system that your root file system is on your ram disk, which essentially has some device driver modules, and that's about it. I think you need to IPL your installation system, mount your DASD volumes, chroot to the root file system, update your zipl parameters, re-make the initrd, and re-run zipl, then reboot.
