I only use 3390-3 emulated DASD on Hercules. Who knows, some day I might actually be able to get a z/Linux system on my work zSeries machine. It would be "nice" to just backup my Hercules disk images in some manner which would allow them to be restored on real zSeries DASD and IPL'ed. Again, I'm weird.
Hmm perhaps SUSE s390 has a problem with a 3390-9 (> 2GB?). Seems odd but I'll try it again. On my last try, I looked around before starting yast. I found fdasd and I used it to create my partitions, eg
fdasd /dev/dasda fdasd /dev/dasdb I then started the yast install procedure. The System Information section found my drives as usual and also showed the partitions. But when I got to the actual install, it still insisted that it could not create a partition proposal and when I opened up the partitioning section, my partitions were not there. Perhaps a clue. Anyway I'll try with a smaller system DASD and see what happens. Once I get this to work, I would next like to get LVM to work as well. Thanks for all the help! If I can just get past this point, I think I will have it installed. Centos was nice but neither Oracle nor DB2 install on it. BTW are you running S390 or S390x SUSE?
