I'm hoping that right bracket is a typo, since it should be an exclamation point. Whether or not that is the case, since this is a z/VM guest, I would get rid of the cio_ignore parameter entirely. It's typically only useful for an LPAR environment. In fact, it's probably what is causing your entire problem. > inst.rescue > CMSDASD=191 CMSCONFFILE=redhat.conf > REDHAT CONF A1 > DASD="200-206" > HOSTNAME="linux8" > NETTYPE="qeth" > IPADDR="172.27.20.19" > SUBCHANNELS="0.0.0900,0.0.0901,0.0.0902" > NETMASK="255.255.0.0" > GATEWAY="172.27.20.254" > > It does IPL the installation dialog but never the rescue system. As Steffen suggested, you might need to change your syntax to match the version you're running. I'm not familiar with Red Hat's installation configuration files, so I don't know for sure. Having said that, can you SSH to the system while the installer is active, and get a shell there? If so, then you should be able to activate the DASD needed, activate the LVM VG and LVs, mount the necessary file systems, chroot into the system, and fix things there. Again, I would recommend getting rid of ANY cio_ignore parameters you find.
