I am currently playing with SLES 8 in our z/VM environment. Today I attempted to build a system that had assigned to it 5 MOD3 devices, 200 - 204. Going through the process of formating each device from z/VM and then proceeding into the install all works fine. I a sk that the install process format my drives with ext3. I have also attempted /boot with ext3 and the remaining drives being assigned to a VG under LVM. In both cases, once the install completes and the guest shutsdown I receive an error at z/VM.
DMSACP112S C(200) device error DMSACP112S E(201) device error DMSACP112S F(202) device error DMSACP112S G(203) device error DMSACP112S H(204) device error The drives at this point are no longer accessible. I have even ignored the errors and attempted ipl 200 clear and received the following error: /lib/modules/2.4.19-3suse-SMP/kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd_mod.o: unresol ved symbol dasd_default_erp_postaction /lib/modules/2.4.19-3suse-SMP/kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd_mod.o: unresol ved symbol dasd_discipline_add /lib/modules/2.4.19-3suse-SMP/kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd_mod.o: unresol ved symbol dasd_int_handler /lib/modules/2.4.19-3suse-SMP/kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd_mod.o: unresol ved symbol dasd_start_IO kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-94, errno = 2 VFS: Cannot open root device "dasdb1" or 5e:05 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 5e:05 HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000A0000 8020ECF8 Can anyone help me out with this? I have installed SLES 8 previously using 2 MOD3, but I don't see how installing to 5 MOD3 would differ from 2. Thank you! Eric Sammons (804)697-3925
