Ooo! I know! Update /etc/sysconfig/kernel and add it there.
Then rerun mk_initrd & zipl.

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. ---------------------------------------------------- $B5WJ] (B $B>0;K (B Naoshi Kubo zSeries Technical Support , Advanced Technical Support , IBM Japan Tel : 043-297-6587 (EXT 1804-6587) E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
