Clark,
You may want to try using the LXFMT utility under z/VM - located on the Link Below to perform the actual Linux format from z/VM itself just to see if you get past this error on the format. This utility can also be used to partition the disk

Thanks for the quick response. Do you have any suggestions on what I should be checking about the hardware? Clearly the installation sees the disks. What about them should I verify? Attached is how they are listing within z/VM:
Thanks, Clark

Looks like hardware issues to me. The kernel is not happy. This block is recurring through your log file.
