Eric, Are you absolutely sure you are IPLing from device number 200?
You're saying all the right things, that's for sure. I see you're IPLing with an initrd. Is your DASD support compiled as a module? If not, then the entries in /etc/modules.conf are ignored. When you re-IPL the system, what does the reported command line show? (It should be about the 8th line if you go back and do a "dmesg | less" command.) Are the new volumes in there? I'm guessing not, or you wouldn't be having this problem. Is this a VM or LPAR installation?
