When I try to do a direct kernel IPL it fails with:
panic s390: core='0' psw-mask='0x0002000180000000'

I've been able to IPL the RHEL 8 ISO and I've been able to do a direct kernel
IPL of the SLES 11 SP4 installer. Any suggestions on why RHEL 6.10 won't IPL?
Two things here. The RHEL6 ISO is not bootable like the newer ones and RHEL6
does
not have the necessary drivers to run under KVM (e.g. no s390x virtio drivers).
For KVM you need RHEL7 or later, SLES11 or later or Ubuntu 16.04 or later.
FWIW, RHEL 6.10 Maintenance Support II expired on Nov 30 2020 (basically it is
out of support) so do not expect any updates here.
