Hadn't been following this.. we had the same issue ... I ended up doing a VMARC of the INITRD file on one system -- then using 3270 file xfer to download/upload that to the other z/VM system and it was usable after unpacking with VMARC. FTP wasn't an option at the time to the target system.. Still not sure why 3270 file xfer didn't work to xfer it .. it has in the past with other install files..
