For Marcy, Marian and Samir, thank you all for the information. I've
tried both yast and the dasd_configure command and I'm very happy that I
can still choose to add new dasd manually with dasd_configure, makinitrd
& zipl, or automatically with yast. So far, I've found over the years,
that using yast from a windows machine when I'm working from home,
almost never works. Yast usuallly freezes or abends, and I end up
frustrated, so I prefer to use the manual method when I'm working from
home. When I'm at work, though, and I've got a Suse Linux desktop, then
I almost always use yast.
For Mark Post, thank you for the information about the Rotation AND
Resizing extension. The block of messages I received after trying to
invoke yast2 was:
*suse11:~ #* yast2
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
The program 'y2controlcenter-gnome' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 74 error_code 2 request_code 146 minor_code 1)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Is there a problem with what I installed for Suse11, and do I need to
install Gnome/KDE (was my choice not to install these a mistake)?
Or is there a problem with my Linux desktop (it is really old), or is
something else causing this problem? At the moment, I don't have another
Linux desktop to try and run Yast2 on.
Thank you everyone

Sue,
use dasd_configure command. It brings device online and also makes sure it will
come online after next IPL.
for example
dasd_configure 0.0.0105 1

Subject: sles11 - adding dasd & yast problem
To: [email protected]
Date: Thursday, January 7, 2010, 4:18 AM
I have just finished installing Sles
11, and now I need to add two
mini-disks. The first is read only, the second is
read-write. I tried
running mkinitrd & zipl like I would for sles10, but it
doesn't seem to
be working. Mkinitrd is only writing 6 or 8 lines to the
console (it
writes almost a screen full on sles10), and it seems to be
changing the
disk identifier from dasdc & dasdd to dasda or dasdb so
that /etc/fstab
ends up being correct for the current ipl, but not the
next. I guess
zipl is working, at least the system seems to boot. If I
run mkinitrd &
zipl manually, the new disks don't seem to be picked up and
added to the
dasd configuration so they are avail for the next ipl. If I
use
yast->hardware->dasd to activate them, then the dasd
id is changed, and
the disks seem to be varied online at the next ipl.
How do I get the dasd added and mounted at each ipl?
Can I add dasd without using yast and if so how? What
commands do I need
to run?
Problem #2 - When I try to run yast2, I get an error
message that Xlib:
extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0" along
with a bunch
of other messages. I thought I saw something about
Gnome in an earlier
error message, and I did not install either Gnome of KDE
since I was
doing a z/linux install, and neither of these have worked
very well on
previous sles versions. yast seems to work so far, but I
much prefer yast2.
Can anyone shed any light on either of these problems?
Thank you
Sue Sivets
