I am encountering this same problem.
dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasda: No such device
When I did the insmods for dasd_mod and dasd_eckd_mod
I got messages back that said they were already there...
I am at a loss.
This is SLES8 and we're using old RAMAC disk on 3990 controllers.
The drivers manual says this dasd is OK..
The 3390 device was ICKDSF formatted and is offline to other lpars.
Track zero was not touched by the ICKDSF..the vtoc was placed on cyl 0
track 1....
Does that make a diff...seems normal to me...
Why can't SLES8 ram system dasdfmt this disk ??
A cat /proc/dasd/devices shows the volume as /dev/dasda unknown
Is the "unknown" trying to give me a hint???
Help!
Thanks,

Please respond

You need to also insmod dasd_eckd_mod before trying to format the volumes.

Hello, I�m installing Suse 8 lpar in a MP3000.

Check with the file README on CD1 for any preparational steps
before starting the installer.
Then start installation with the 'yast' command.
have a lot of fun...
