Got a head-scratcher that perhaps a lister can help me with here.

We installed a "sandbox" copy of SLES 8 as a VM guest. During
installation, there were no VM VDISK units (FBA) attached to the machine.
We added one for swap space, extended parmfile & /etc/zipl.conf to include
the new address, hoping that the subchannel scanner would sense it during
IPL and insert the dasd_fba_mod module. No go. If I insmod dasd_fba_mod by
hand, all is fine; but shouldn't this be automatically sensed?

Or have I missed a script setting somewhere?

My production system did have VDISK units attached at installation time,
and they're automatically sensed quite beautifully after the ECKD units
get sensed and collected.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
