Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I have tried it with both an
EDEV minidisk and ECKD minidisk, same problem on each. I've got a
couple of people looking at the RDSOS file, so perhaps that will get me
somewhere. Oh, and its an 8G machine, not 3G as I first
mentioned...typo'd it. I am wondering about the ISO I'm using for the
install, so am checking into that too. (Someone supplied it to me, not
sure where they got it.)
The only thing I find really weird in the rdsos file is that iscsid
keeps showing up. Not sure why for a RAM disk install, with a target on
a ECKD disk. But there are a bunch of iscsid errors just before the
initqueue timeout errors start. So, just wondering if that is a
coincidence or cause/effect.

Hi Martha!
If you are installing RHEL 8 in EDEV disk, there is an issue, the
install fail.
I opened a ticket to RedHat and they told me installation will fail if
it is a FBA type disk. They provided a fix until they correct the ISO
file.
Basically, they provided me a "updates.img" and I added in the boot
parameter "inst.update=ftp://<...>/updates.img"
If you are interested, I can send you the file. Or you can open a case
in RedHat support.

Has anyone run into problems getting RHEL 8 to install on Z? I've run
into a weird problem. Two different experienced Linux guys have
looked at it, and we are all stumped.
Background:
The install is being done in a 3G virtual machine on z/VM 6.4 on a
LinuxOne (z13 generation). We have lots of different versions of
Linux running on the same system, including RHEL 7, CentOS, Ubuntu 18
and SLES 15. So, I don't think its a kernel/cpu type problem.
Problem:
When I run the REDHAT exec to bring up the install kernel, it starts
booting and things look like they will be OK. Until it gets to the
point where "dracut initqueue" starts. There is a message "7 urandom
warnings(s) missed due to ratelimiting". It then pauses for a couple
of minutes, followed by a series of messages, "dracut-initqueue
timeout - starting timeout scripts". Eventually, it ends up in dracut
in emergency mode. The install process never starts. I've changed
numerous parameters, even changed what type of disk I'm using for the
install. It doesn't matter, its exactly the same problem each time.
Really scratching my head on this one.
