Dave, Where ever you have the DASD driver parameters specified, put a (diag) after the device number for the VDISK. It will also require some quoting, or so we've been told: root=/dev/dasd?? "dasd=1111,2222(diag),3333-555"

And we set DIAG using YAST. Also, I saw a comment from Mark Post where he suggested that you EXCLUDE the FBA module, but that was not in /etc/sysconfig/kernel in the first place, so we did not pursue that. Right now we're not sure what's going on. Two of our newly cloned SLES9 servers work and the swap file gets created at boot time. Two don't work...but if we issue /etc/init.d/boot.local start after boot...the VDISK swaps define just fine... This is really strange.

Could it be that the dasd_fba_mod (or dasd_diag_mod) is not in the initrd? You might need to add it in /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRDMODULES and run mkinitrd and zipl again.
