I'm trying to add 2 new mini disks to Redhat 5.3, and I've now reached the point where I'm going nowhere fast. The dasd are online, and mounted, I've updated both fstab and modprobe.conf, and I've renamed the initrd img file according to the RedHat Installation Guide. When I try to run mkinitrd, I get an error message, and so far, I haven't been able to figure why it's complaining.The mkinitrd command I entered is:mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.el5.img 2.6.18-128.e15 The message I get back is: No modules available for kernel "2.6.18-128.e15". I have no idea what modules it's looking for, or why it can't find them. This is a brand new install, and I'm pretty sure no one has logged on or tried to do anything yet. When I issue uname -a to find out the kernel version, I get: Linux Red53.idp.com 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:45:02 EST 2008 s390x s3x Can anyone tell me what I'm missing, or not doing correctly? Are there other commands to find out what version the kernel is? If I just issue mkinitrd, like I do on Suse, I get the following: usage: mkinitrd [--version] [--help] [-v] [-f] [--preload <module>] [--force-ide-probe] [--force-scsi-probe | --omit-scsi-modules] [--image-version] [--force-raid-probe | --omit-raid-modules] [--with=<module>] [--force-lvm-probe | --omit-lvm-modules] [--builtin=<module>] [--net-dev=<interface>] [--without-usb] [--without-multipath] [--without-dmraid] [--fstab=<fstab>] [--nocompress] <initrd-image> <kernel-version> (ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15) How do I get the new dasd added to this RedHat system? Thanks to anyone who can help.
Check out http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-2404, "How do I add a new DASD to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux guest in z/VM (IBM's virtualization manager)?"
