Fedora 14 installation unable to format

[Philip L Pinto]

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.
