Are you installing SuSE under VM? If so, double check your addresses are correct by typing the following (including the "#"): #CP Q DASD This will list off the addresses assigned to your guest. (I'm wondering if you're using the real address on the insmod when you should be using the virtual address.) If you're running in LPAR mode then you need to verify that the LPAR has access to the DASD. You can use the HMC to do this. (Well, you can verify that the CHPIDs are online to the LPAR at least.) > SuSE Instsys zlnx01:/root # dasdfmt -n 356c -b 4096 > dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasd/356c/device: No such > file or directory > You will need to use the "dasdfmt -f /dev/dasda" format of the command. When using the "-n" argument, dasdfmt is expecting a "devfs" style "/dev" layout. That isn't available at this stage of the game. Leland
