I have formatted from another linux and it worked. Now I got another error on chreipl step: *2015-10-02 17:16:24,106 - model.installfunctions - DEBUG - Zipl output is: Using config file '/etc/zipl.conf'Building bootmap in '/boot'Building menu 'zipl-automatic-menu'Adding #1: IPL section 'linux' (default)Preparing boot device: dasda (5001).Done.2015-10-02 17:16:24,111 - model.installfunctions - DEBUG - Zipl error output is:2015-10-02 17:16:24,130 - model.installfunctions - DEBUG - Zipl bootName is: dasda2015-10-02 17:16:24,187 - model.installfunctions - DEBUG - chreipl output is:2015-10-02 17:16:24,191 - model.installfunctions - DEBUG - chreipl error output is: chreipl: Could not open "reipl/ccw/loadparm" (Permission denied)2015-10-02 17:16:24,194 - model.installfunctions - ERROR - Error running chreipl2015-10-02 17:16:24,198 - model.installfunctions - CRITICAL - Failed installSystem2015-10-02 17:16:24,201 - model.installfunctions - CRITICAL - EXCEPTION:<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>2015-10-02 17:16:24,204 - model.installfunctions - CRITICAL - Error running chreipl2015-10-02 17:16:24,223 - model.installfunctions - CRITICAL - Stacktrace:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/ibm/kvmibm-installer/model/installfunctions.py", line 377, in installSystem installBootloader(diskSelected, rootDir, bootDev, rootDev, swapDev) File "/opt/ibm/kvmibm-installer/model/installfunctions.py", line 1101, in installBootloader raise RuntimeError('Error running chreipl')RuntimeError: Error running chreipl2015-10-02 17:16:24,625 - controller.controller - CRITICAL - ZKVMError: [['KVMIBMIN70500', 'Error while installing packages.'], ('INSTALLER', 'INSTALLSYSTEM', 'INSTALL_MSG')](END)* Probably is another issue with zPDT.
