Our z/VM folks have configured me a vdisk which I am trying to make use of in my Guest Linux install. It seems that I was able to do this under SLES7 however, am having difficulty doing it with SLES8. Perhaps I have forgotten something along the way or something is misconfigured. Second set of eyes please....
