A console log would help to identify the problem, you can also do some checks from the emergency shell. One thing I see in the docs is that inst.repo= option is required. See also https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/performing_a_standard_rhel_installation/preparing-for-installation-on-ibm-z_installing-rhel Or see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/chap-installer-booting-ipl-s390 (don't have a RHEL 8 equivalent handy) for the modern/dracut style options.
