Except there is currently a bug in the interface that for some devices, such as DASD, the echo command MUST have a trailing blank in it: echo "add device range=0100-0104 " >> /proc/dasd/devices

Actually, that was the hardest part for me as a VMer new to Linux to find. It wasn't in the Suse doc (although there is enough about dasdfmt, mke2fs, and fdasd) and I couldn't find a howto on it anywhere. And I found that I did need to reboot Linux 2.4. Is this not the case? Maybe I didn't find the dynamic way (I did try insmod too but came to the conclusion through reading the list archives that that's only for the initial install out of the ramdisk). Marcy
