I am trying to do a network install of Etch in a 31 bit VM guest. It goes well till I get to writing the automatically generated partition layouts to disk and I get the error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/dasda5 -- Invalid argument. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/dasda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. When I re-boot, It says it can't determine how the disk is formatted and asks me to do it again. Any ideas?
AFAIK, the CKD driver only supports 4 devices per partition. In the S/390 world, you generally use 1 per partition and define additional devices, particularly under VM.
I would try defining more smaller minidisks and then putting one partition on each of them.
