The real issue is that DASD device numbers need to be added to the
initrd, since that is what initializes them, not the kernel parmfile.
Any time you change your system configuration, such as adding/removing
DASD, adding LVM, etc., you really, really, need to re-run mkinitrd, and
then re-run zipl.

One issue is in a default SuSE9 install, the "dasd=" is not used in the
parmfile.  If you add DASD and activate it via yast, the parmfile is not
touched; yast will happily adds the new DASD to /etc/fstab until the
/dev/dasdXX changes and then it won't boot.
