Thanks, Mark. That is the answer I was hoping to turn up. So for those
playing along with our home game, adding this line:
options dasd_mod dasd=292-2FF
to /etc/modprobe.conf.local causes dasd_mod to be loaded in SLES11
with the parameters I intend (which formerly, in SLES10, I passed to
the kernel with zipl). It's less urgent now, given I've discovered the
other option to dasd_mod we were using ("fixedbuffers") no longer
appears documented. But, it's still good to know.
ok
