I knew it had been talked about recently and I went back through the
archives to find it, but I couldn't. I have a work around and as a
professor I had
in college once said, it was " . . . done with brute force and awkwardness
. ." I am going to try Rob van der Heij suggestion and use the PIPEs
method to format the drive.
Installation of RHEL AS just completed a few minutes. ad infinium

Subject: Re: REHL3 install problem
Steve,
This pretty much got talked about last week. Once you sign in the first
time with PuTTY and anaconda starts, sign in a second time, modprobe the
dasd driver(s), dasdfmt the disks and partition them with fdasd. Then,
switch back to the Anaconda session and continue the install.

Subject: REHL3 install problem
I'm haveing problems getting rhel3 installed. I am able to boot rhel3
from vm and watch the console messages go by. I am able to log into a
session using putty. I am doing an ftp install. I get the welcome screen
for RHEL AS (the install is using anaconda). Next screen is a warning
about
this being a beta and I proceed on. Next screen, I set up my ftp
connection
and that works because 3 files get loaded. Then the next screen displays
an error because anaconda or something cannot find my linux disk drives. I
know they are there because I can see the sensing activity in the console
file. Below is at the end of the dasd sensing:
Partition check:
dasdb:CMS1/ LIN201(MDSK): dasdb1
dasdc:CMS1/ LIN202(MDSK): dasdc1
dasdd:CMS1/ LIN203(MDSK): dasdd1
dasde:CMS1/ LIN204(MDSK): dasde1
dasdf:CMS1/ LIN205(MDSK): dasdf1
dasdg:CMS1/ LIN206(MDSK): dasdg1
I'm pretty sure I followed the install instructions to the letter for the
dasd.
a) format the dasd--> format 201 b (blksize 4096
when that completes
b) reserve the dasd--> reserve lin201 mdisk b
I also tried the install without reserveing the dasd. Obviously it didn't
work.
It's like I'm missing a step in here somewhere but I don't know what.
As a foot note to all of this, I did have it running, but needed to make
one
disk larger. When I did that, that particular disk changed to CMS1 All
others were VOL1. I figured I really messed something up, so I reformated
all of the dasd. It went from bad to worse. 8-( Any help greatly
appreciated. Thanks, Steve Gentry
