Hey All;
I'm not a VM'er so please be gentle...
What does "Volume has an incompatable disk layout" mean?
We are trying to install RHEL v 3.0 on a particular VMGuest. We have used this
same code many times previous. We are now not seeing any dasd devices in
anaconda, and we see the following on the console:
dasd(eckd): ECKD discipline initializing
dasd(eckd): /dev/dasda ( 94: 0),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 3390/0C(CU:3990/04) Cyl:188

All the DASD was formated this way:
cpfmtxa
ENTER FORMAT, ALLOCATE, LABEL, OR QUIT:
format
ENTER THE VDEV TO BE PROCESSED OR QUIT:
200
ENTER THE CYLINDER RANGE TO BE FORMATTED ON DISK 0200 OR QUIT:
0-end
ENTER THE VOLUME LABEL FOR DISK 0200:
lnx200
CPFMTXA:
FORMAT WILL ERASE CYLINDERS 00000-00187 ON DISK 0200
DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? (YES | NO)
