Here is a better description of my problem. I am building a new RHEL AS 3 system from Linux version 2.4.21-4.EL (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)
I put all the networking configuration information in, and I can connect to the new initial ram disk system. I supply the DASD device numbers of "151,200,201,202,203" I then LOGN to ROOT on the initial system and see some of the following on the system console dasd(eckd): ECKD discipline initializing dasd: <devno: 0151> Add lowmem page :15247000 dasd: <devno: 0151> Add lowmem page :15245000 dasd(eckd): /dev/dasda ( 94: 0),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01) Cyl:250 Head:15 S ec:224 dasd(eckd): /dev/dasda ( 94: 0),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01): Configuration da ta read dasd: No request IRQ dasd: <devno: 0200> Add lowmem page :1523d000 dasd: <devno: 0200> Add lowmem page :1523c000 dasd(eckd): /dev/dasdb ( 94: 4),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01) Cyl:100 Head:15 S ec:224 dasd(eckd): /dev/dasdb ( 94: 4),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01): Configuration da ta read dasd: No request IRQ dasd: waiting for responses... dasd(eckd): /dev/dasda ( 94: 0),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: (4kB blks): 180000kB at 48kB/trk linu x disk layout dasd: No request IRQ dasd: <devno: 0201> Add lowmem page :15234000 dasd: <devno: 0201> Add lowmem page :15233000 dasd(eckd): /dev/dasdc ( 94: 8),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01) Cyl:3338 Head:15 Sec:224 dasd(eckd): /dev/dasdc ( 94: 8),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01): Configuration da ta read dasd: No request IRQ dasd: waiting for responses... dasd(eckd): /dev/dasdb ( 94: 4),[EMAIL PROTECTED]: (4kB blks): 72000kB at 48kB/trk linux And then toward the end I see this information: Partition check: dasda:CMS1/ SWAP : dasda1 dasdb:CMS1/ BOOT : dasdb1 dasdc:CMS1/ ROOT : dasdc1 dasdd:CMS1/ VAR : dasdd1 dasde:CMS1/ HOME : dasde1 dasd(eckd): We are interested in: CU 3880/00 dasd(eckd): We are interested in: CU 3990/00 dasd(eckd): We are interested in: CU 2105/00 dasd(eckd): We are interested in: CU 9343/00 * inserted /tmp/dasd_eckd_mod.o * load module set done * no firewire controller found * no pcic controller found * probing buses * finished bus probing * found nothing At this point I start the install process.
