Did you update the dasd= field in the parameter section of /etc/zipl.conf
and the run zipl?
You can also: echo "add device range=<cuu>" >>/proc/dasd/devices

Check the Linux/390 Device Drivers manual in the documentation section of
the developer works site:

Greetings,

I'm a dinosaur, becoming a penguin, and struggling though the transformation
of course.

I've got the SuSE SLES-7 download system running on an LPAR, doing fine.
For the installation process I did DASD in a simple manner - one 3390-3
volume for swap space, one 3390-3 volume for the complete root file system.
These are using /dev/dasda and /dev/dasdb.

I'm trying to figure out how to add a third volume.  I haven't been able to
figure out (or find) the steps to accomplish it.  I can do it if I IPL the
installation system from CD.  I can "dasdfmt" and "mke2fs" it, and it's
defined in /proc/dev/devices.  But I can't get my unit associated to
/dev/dasdc on my DASD-based system.  (This sounds similar to Mr.
Whitteridge's current issue "Adding DASD not recognized".)

Can someone provide the steps, or suggest where I can find the correct
manual or redbook that provides the process.  Thanks!!
