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?
