This sounds familiar. There's an issue (aka bug :)) documented on p. 115 of "The Virtualization Cookbook for z/VM 6.2 RHEL 6.2 and SLES 11 SP2" on the Web at the top of the page: http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/mikemac/ Here's some of the text: "Important! The message says to log in as the user install, however, there is an intermediate step. There is an issue where the Red Hat installer does not recognize disks that were have been formatted with CPFMTXA. If you have followed all the steps in this book, this will be the case (if you have previously used dasdfmt to format these minidisks, you can skip this step) You must first start an SSH session, login as root and use dasdfmt to format all disks." I've been trying for years to get Red Hat to fix this, to no avail, (sigh ...) ((and to be fair to Brad, he tried too)) Again, it's a shot in the dark, but might be worth a try.
