Gadi,
this a known issue, unfortunately. It is mentioned as a know issue in
the Release notes for RHEL-7.0 [1]:
anaconda component, BZ#1070104
It is not possible to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 from the
installation DVD using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) on IBM
System z architecture.
So, unless you find a way to modify the parameter file
(images/generic.prm on the installation DVD) and add required parameters
for the installer, you won't be able to install RHEL-7.0 on your LPAR.
What parameters need to be added to the parameter file can be found in
the Installation guide [2].
This issue is going to be fixed in RHEL-7.1 and you will be prompted to
enter additional parameters at the beginning of the installation.

Mike,
I didn't change the PARM file at all.

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

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
