With the strace output I was finally able to reproduce the error.
The problem lies in libu2s which we use to get the busid of a block device. There is a bug
in the parsing of /proc/dasd/devices which is being triggered only if an FBA device
is listed prior to the ECKD device in question. And since you've had FBA devices
attached to your system during the installation, you ran into that bug.
A simple workaround would be to set the FBA devices offline if they're not really needed
at that point.
This bug was fixed in our development branch a while ago already but wasn't released yet.
The next s390-tools release will include the fix.
However, I also attached the patch that fixes this issue.
Best regards,
Jan
