Hi, I'm trying to install Debian 3.0 on IBM z/900 under a z/VM-Guest (z/VM 4.3) with the following z/VM-user:
-------USER.DIRECT start------- USER LINUXV1 XXXXX 128M 256M G INCLUDE IBMDFLT ACCOUNT LINUXV1 MACHINE ESA OPTION LNKNOPAS IPL CMS PARM AUTOCR DEDICATE 1900 1900 DEDICATE 1901 1901 MDISK 191 3390 0801 0050 430W02 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE *LINUX SWAP MDISK 200 3390 0001 0200 LI2105 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE *LINUX / MDISK 201 3390 0001 3338 LI2106 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE *LINUX /USR MDISK 202 3390 0001 3338 LI2107 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE * -------USER.DIRECT end------- While loading with vmreader following messages appear: --------- boot start ------ Kernel command line: dasd=200-202 root=/dev/ram0 ro Highest subchannel number detected (hex) : 0010 SPID - Device 0191 on Subchannel 0002, lpm 20, became 'not operational' SPID - Device 0200 on Subchannel 0003, lpm 20, became 'not operational' SPID - Device 0201 on Subchannel 0004, lpm 20, became 'not operational' SPID - Device 0202 on Subchannel 0005, lpm 20, became 'not operational' --------- boot end ------- After the network configuration and login with telnet I can't attach a disk. The menulist from dbootstrab is empty. In /proc/dasd/devices the following is listed: ------- cat /proc/dasd/devices start --------- cat /proc/dasd/devices 0200(none) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : unknown 0201(none) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : unknown 0202(none) at ( 94: 8) is dasdc : unknown ------- cat /proc/dasd/devices end --------- Do you have any suggestions or hints and tips? Regards Armin
