  On the VM console for the SLES11 machine, I get the following msg:

Judging by this output, it appears the the Linux kernel on your SLES11
system sees different VTOC data than the kernel on SLES10. Please try
the following:

  - Set the device offline on both systems
  - Detach the device from both systems

On the SLES10 system:
  - Attach + set online
  - Check if the partition is recognized
  - Dump VTOC data:
      dasdview -t all /dev/dasd... >sles10.txt
  - Set offline + detach

On the SLES11 system:
  - Attach + set online
  - Check if the partition is recognized
  - Dump VTOC data:
      dasdview -t all /dev/dasd... >sles11.txt

  - Compare the VTOC data:
      diff -u sles10.txt sles11.txt

If there is a difference, please send the output of the diff command.
