Cecelia, Is this early in the install process? Using the predefined SPOOL area that IBM provides with z/VM? If so, then perhaps you DO have some sort of hardware or software error?
Maybe you could provide the output of commands: CP Q ALLOC SPOOL CP Q DASD DETAILS rdev_addr_here And if you don't mind sharing with other sets of eye all willing to help out, run CPFMTXA on all the SPOOL volumes listed by Q ALLOC SPOOL to display their ALLOC MAPS (you don't need actually change anything just to look). If you're using minidisks to access the SPOOL areas from a 2nd level system, providing the 1st level MDISK statements might help, too. If you have added SPOOL space, then are you 100% certain that you formatted ALL the cylinders that you have allocated for it? It's easy when working 2nd level to miss a cylinder. There have been recent posts on the list discussing leaving cylinder 0 (zero) alone on the real DASD (so that the volser remains unchanged), and then on 2nd level defining a minidisk from real cylinders 1-end. If you were on 2nd level and LINKed that 1-END minidisk, then formatted from cylinders 1-END, and allocated it as SPOL 0-END, it could cause the problem you're seeing (along with lots of other things that could cause it).

Either add some spool space or clean up some spool files that you don't need.
