RedHat/RPMS/* and RedHat/base/* is needed, but then you'll anyway have

If you can setup a mirror of our s390 version, I can make incremental

Just FYI, the following param file worked for us to install with the lcs modul:
root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off
HOST=lpar.redhat.de:eth0:172.16.2.176
NETWORK=172.16.2.0:255.255.255.0:172.16.2.255:172.16.2.1
DNS=172.16.2.2:172.16.2.15 SEARCHDNS=redhat.de:redhat.com
RPMSERVER=ftp://172.16.2.140/mnt/raid/s390/install/s390
INSTALL=all DTZ=CET
LCS=0xfc20,1
