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.

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.
