Make sure your initrd has the DIAG support module being loaded at IPL
time.  If you want to make your life a little easier, make sure to
remove the FBA module.  Then you won't need to play games with kernel
parms, etc.

Subject: Trouble setting DIAG on 3390 device(SuSE SLES 9)


I have compiled DIAG in the kernel, and have modified ZIPL with the
'dasd=300,301(diag)' statement, and system would not boot. It gave me
some message about not finding 301 or something like that.  Anyway I
took the 'dasd' statement out, and rebooted.  I then try to manually
switch dasd 301 offline, then set on diag with the 'echo 1 >
/sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.0301 /use_diag' and then set back online.  It
then gives me the message "dasd_generic couldn't online device 0.0.0301
with discipline DIAG".  What am I doing wrong?  I was  able to use DIAG
with 300(VDISK), but have to set it manually. It always comes up with
the FBA discipline.
