Hello Maciek
there is an db2icrt.log.<Number> in the /tmp directory , that should match your db2icrt issued by sapinst . Please check this file first for error messages .
This message
"MDB-01006 DBI1010W The "-w" option specified in the db2icrt, db2iupdt or db2ilist command was ignored.
is just a warning , that the -w Option of db2icrt issued by sapinst is deprecated and ignored by db2icrt of newer DB2 versions . This message should not indicate the source of the problem .
Usually there is also the entire db2icrt instruction with parameters in sapinst_dev.log and you can run this db2icrt manually as root .
There is also an
   -d          turn debug mode on.
parameter for debugging db2icrt issues , but this you should use , when db2icrt also does not run when issued manually as root .
Also check , whether you have created the home directory for db2<db2sid> /db2/db2<db2sid> properly with the proper permissions .
