The Lenny installer is a bit long in the tooth. Have you tried
the Squeeze alpha1 installer? It *should* be able to install Lenny,
if that is what you want to do. For example:
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-s390/current/images/generic/
If that doesn't work, there are some newer images that you can try.
For example (from a CMS "Ready;" prompt):
ftp carroll.aset.psu.edu
anonymous
myid@mydomain
cd /pub/linux/distributions/debian
cd dists/sid/main/installer-s390/current/images/generic
passive
ascii
get debian.exec
binary
get initrd.debian INITRD.DEBIAN
get kernel.debian KERNEL.DEBIAN
get parmfile.debian PARMFILE.DEBIAN
close
quit
PIPE < PARMFILE DEBIAN A|FBLOCK 80 00|> PARMFILE DEBIAN1 A F
ERASE PARMFILE DEBIAN A
RENAME PARMFILE DEBIAN1 A = DEBIAN =
PIPE < INITRD DEBIAN A|FBLOCK 80 00|> INITRD DEBIAN1 A F
ERASE INITRD DEBIAN A
RENAME INITRD DEBIAN1 A = DEBIAN =
PIPE < KERNEL DEBIAN A|FBLOCK 80 00|> KERNEL DEBIAN1 A F
ERASE KERNEL DEBIAN A
RENAME KERNEL DEBIAN1 A = DEBIAN =
DEBIAN

Your release of z/VM is getting a bit long in the tooth too! ;-)
And service level 0702 is more than three years out of date. ;-)
Have you checked for PTFs that may need to be applied?

Are you sure that's right? What kind of DASD do you have?
I normally use 3390-3 volumes, but even a 3390-9 stops at
10017 cylinders. You're going past 31000 cylinders.
Can you use the CMS FORMAT command on these minidisks
successfully?
