Bottom of p34 (pdf p48) of SLES11 Device Drivers manual says 'you can specify ″diag″ on the command line, for example during IPL, to force the device driver to access the device (range) using the DIAG access method.'
Sounds like it's saying (erroneously?) 'dasd=...(diag)' is supported on the kernel command line. But that SLES11 manual has no other mention of configuring the dasd driver via kernel command line parameters unlike the pre-SLES11 editions that detailed how to do that. > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Dorothea Matthaeus > Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2009 9:48 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Fw: [LINUX-390] dasd_mod probe behavior change on SLES11? > > <<<With the dasd= option set as shown, 293 should have minor number 4 (and > thus be dasdb), and 2a9 should have minor number 92 (and be dasdx).
