The Red Hat installer dynamically creates the /dev/dasd?1 entries, based on the values you give it for your DASD. If this process fails, you cannot issue a mount command for them. If you want to do it yourself, the command would be: mknod /dev/dasda b 94 0 mknod /dev/dadsa1 b 94 1 mknod /dev/dasdb b 94 4 mknod /dev/dasdb1 b 94 5

When I got thru the loader install and got the prompt back, I tried running the "instoco <dasd-partition-name>" which failed with these msgs: (per the instructions in the "How to install the LCS OCO modules...." doc) awk: cmd. line:1: //dev/dasda1/ { print "mknod /tmp//dev/dasda1 b ",$1," ",$2} awk: cmd. line:1: ^ parse error mount: you must specify the filesystem type cp: cannot create directory `/mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.4.9-17': No such file or directory cp: cannot create directory `/mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.4.9-17BOOT': No such file or directory cp: cannot create directory `/mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.4.9-17BOOTtape': No such file or directory cp: cannot create directory `/mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.4.9-17tape': No such file or directory /bin/instoco[19]: cannot create /mnt/sysimage/etc/modules.conf: No such file or directory error unmounting /mnt/sysimage: No such file or directory ....so then I tried: insmod dasd_mod insmoda dasd_eckd_mode mount -t ext2 /dev/dasda1 /mnt/sysimage ...and got this message: mount: special device /dev/dasda1 does not exist I have done the latter series of commands successfully numerous times... now it's not working??? Any ideas on these two errors ??? Thanks, Dave
