Is your dasd driver a module, and are you using an initrd?

If this is the case, the range is taken from /etc/modprobe.conf in the
initrd, not /etc.  You need to rebuild the initrd and reboot.

Subject: [LINUX-390] "Large" Number of DASD on zLinux on zVM


I have a RedHat Linux machine on  zVM 5.2 and I am trying to put about
40 3390 mod 9s on it.  Each device is a full-pack minidisk.

The machine boots up fine and runs but doesn't have all its dasd.

a "#CP Q V DASD" shows that the Linux machine has all the DASD mapped to
virtual addresses 800-82B.

The /proc/dasd/devices only goes as far as 81F.  Likewise the /dev/dasd.

My /etc/zipl.conf allows for 800-83F.

What have I messed-up here?  I am still new to Linux on VM.  

Any help greatfully appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron Henry
