Hi,
I have a question about tape.
I want to recognize a tape device on Linux booting.
I edit "kernel parameters" in /etc/zipl.conf
(before)
parameters="dasd=fd8f root=/dev/dasda1"
(after)
parameters="dasd=fd8f tape=fc91 root=/dev/dasda1"
Then I run 'zipl',
# zipl
building bootmap : /boot/zipl/bootmap
adding Kernel Image : /boot/kernel/image located at 0x00010000
adding Ramdisk : /boot/initrd located at 0x00800000
adding Parmline : /boot/zipl/parmfile located at 0x00001000
Bootloader for ECKD type devices with z/OS compatible layout installed.
Syncing disks....
...done
Then I reboot Linux, tape module 'tape390' is not loaded and
/proc/tapedevices does not exist.
But tape address exist in /proc/subchannels.
I load tape module by 'insmod tape390 tape=fc91' by manual,
/proc/tapedevices is created.
Please teach me how to load tape module on booting.
I use SLES8+SP2 under z/VM 4.3.
