But those messages give us a whole lot more information. The kernel is telling us that the file system on it is not - ext2 - ext3 - MINIX (no big surprise there) So now the question is, what kind of file system is it? Perhaps reiserfs? If so, is the reiserfs kernel module built into the initrd? I doubt the initrd has the blkid command in it, so if you attach that DASD volume to another guest that is up and running, what does "blkid /dev/dasd?1" tell you?
