We figured it out.
Didn't run fdasd after the dasdfmt command.

Jason,

I would say that there is a bug in the YaST code to display the number of
blocks.  Have you tried to proceed anyway, to see what happens?

Subject: SuSe Install dasd problem


We have z/VM running with dasd assigned to a "guest" (SuSe 2.4.7).  This is
our first install during our companies trial period.  The problem we are
having is when I run the command below:

SuSE Instsys ZSUSE001:/etc # cat /proc/dasd/devices
0200(ECKD) at ( 94:  0) is dasda:active at blocksize: 4096, 597240 blocks,
2332 MB
0201(ECKD) at ( 94:  4) is dasdb:active at blocksize: 4096, 36000 blocks,
140 MB


This is good, but when I run Yast, I then go to the create swap screen, it
shows the Blocks for each disk at 0.
In the instructions we have it always shows the blocks as the number, i.e.
597240 blocks, like on page 60 of the Installing SuSe on s390 manual we
have. Does anyone have any thought as to why this may not be seen correctly
by Yast?  I did do the dasdfmt -f /dev/dasda -b 4096, and also didn't do the
format, which we were going to let SuSe do it.
