Gadi,
A colleague of mine found that when installing RHEL7 native in an LPAR,
the PARM file entries had to fit entirely on one long line. RHEL7 doesn't
prompt for missing entries and won't read any line beyond the first.
IBM Bug 120606 - RH1186822- FTP installation of RHEL7.0 fails due to
multiline parmfile
FTP Installation of RHEL7 in LPAR (s390x) fails
Dracut/anacoda does not accept a multiline parameter file (e.g.
generic.prm)
FTP installation of RHEL7.0 in LPAR is only successful with a single
line parameter file

Subject: Problem installing RHEL v7
Hi,
I am trying to install RHEL v7 on an LPAR
I see the initial messages on the Operating System Messages screen, but the
installation abends and drops to a prompt.
There is a log file in /run which I am trying to copy to a USB drive so I
can look at it.
How can I copy the file to the USB Drive?
Does anyone know off hand why this is failing?
I am using an LPAR on a z114. The partition has 3GB of storage defined.
Thanks
Gadi
