Mark, I had the same issue here.
I did a bunch of work to determine the cause and forgot to open a issue. Seems the SLES 12 SP 2 FTP support does not like an install directory outside of the user's (the userid you are using to do the install) home directory. I setup ... /xb3000 -rw-r--r-- 1 jcb users 3344957440 Mar 2 08:46 SLE-12-SP2-Server-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 jcb users 6171174912 Mar 2 09:00 SLE-12-SP2-Server-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD2.iso drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 5 09:19 iso1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 5 09:19 iso2 DVD1.iso was mounted loopback on iso1 E.g., but using /xb3000/iso1 would not work for the install However, creating a symlink from the home FTP directory to /xb3000 resolved the issue. lrwxrwxrwx 1 jcb users 7 Mar 3 06:59 xb3000 -> /xb3000 The install will start, but when it gets to the repositories something fails. At any rate, once I added the symlink everything and specified xb3000/iso1 instead of /xb3000/iso1 everything worked fine.
