Is that why tape devices aren't enabled when they are attached?

But if hotplug gets triggered when I attach a dasd why is it only some dasd

The Linux kernel does not activate any new devices on s390 by default (its a
long discussion why) These devices appear in sysfs (/sys/bus/ccw/devices/....
and /sys/devices/css0/..) trigger a hotplug event and thats it.
You can activate these device with scripts, or if hotplug is properly
configured, hotplug can activate these devices (IIRC on SUSE the hwup script
is called which checks the config files in /etc/sysconfig/hardware/)
