Installation from DVD on IBM LinuxONE fails with '/dev/root does not exist'
Issue
-
Unable to install RHEL 7 on IBM LinuxONE
-
The boot into installer on IBM LinuxONE fails with error:
The boot from DVD stops with the following message: "Warning: /dev/root does not exist Generating ""/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt""" "Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to continue. Type ""journalctl"" to view system logs. You might want to save ""/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt"" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them and attach it to a bug report." dracut:/#
DVD image is downloaded from Customer Portal (rhel-server-7.X-s390x-dvd.iso). Same error appears with boot image (rhel-server-7.X-s390x-boot.iso)

Setting required parameter inst.stage2 and inst.repo to DVD or FTP source does not solve the issue.
