And I have seen cases where instead of using FTP to transfer the boot
files from the iso image to z/VM, IND$FILE was used instead. That also
led to RedHat boot time errors.
Also check to make sure the virtual guest has enough storage available
to uncompress completely the initrd file.

Check "query disk" to make sure the 191-a disk isn't at 100% usage.
If you login to the guest and run the 'filelist' command, you'll see
the record length (LRECL) and the number of records (RECORDS) for the
initrd. The LRECL for the initrd should always show 80, and if you
tell me which update of RHEL 5 you're installing I can give you the
expected number of records, to make sure the file was transferred
correctly.
For example, the RHEL 5.7 initrd is 132080 records, and the RHEL 5.6
initrd is 119579 records.

If you don't you get all kinds of weird errors.

I am trying to install RHEL 5 to a z9. I think I have all of my
installation files properly configured, but when I run my exec file
I get this message. Help.
