The linux-390 list might be a better place, but much of the same folks hang here and there.
I just tried it (be sure you have a robust page space if you do, my system went to 10,000 pages/sec in a 1 min interval :) It fails for me with that same error for anything greater the 46G. Probably a bug - our friends in Germany will probaby chime in when they wake up. But if you can just run it under sles 10, I'd do that!

VFS: Cannot open root device "dasdd1" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) 02: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop from CPU 01. --- But for a SLES10 to be given such a memory size, we have no problems. May I know if there are such 'memory caps' on SLES9 on z/VM? Many Thanks! Best Regards, Martin Magat
