Oops... I apparently missed that part of your message.
Typically to use Vdisk swap we use a free utility from Sine Nomine
called SWAPGEN. It will put a swap signature on the device for you.
All you would need to do in Linux is identify the disk in /etc/fstab as
swap and Linux will use it.
SWAPGEN runs from the PROFILE EXEC and can either create the virtual
disk for you or reuse a virtual disk that was created based on the
directory entry.
Go to www.sinenomine.net and search for SWAPGEN.

Yes, I added them to the zipl.conf and ran zipl, then did a mk_initrd
for good measure. That's when they at least showed up in the dasd
devices list, but they still won't show up in Partition manager.

Are the device numbers in zipl.conf?
