I just did a quick experiment with RHEL3, mkinitrd,
and zipl.
1) I updated /etc/modules.conf, then did the mkinitrd

rebooted, the new dasd were NOT there.
2) I then did a zipl and rebooted. The new dasd was

I had that feeling when I encountered the change in
RHEL3 (RH 7.1/7.2 uses the same technique SuSE). Both
SuSE 8 and RHEL3 now use mkinitrd, but the syntax is
