I believe that we have the Ramac Dasd Subsystem model 23 with the B23 drawers.
I still rather refuse to believe that it is a problem with the controllers. If you can vary them online, CP can use them so I don't see why Linux would have a problem.
Friday, I will take a look at my linux(s) and see if I can add dasd. I did it with Linux 7 so I have a couple notes on how I did it.

Well our ramacs are not working. There is no dasd or 3990 info in /proc/subchannels after the dasd is loaded from yast. /proc/dasd/devices shows the 3380 with an "unknown status". No insmods, rmmods modprobes etc. change that symptom. mknod comes back with a message indicating that the 94:0 is already registered..but the linux console messages say otherwise!!
I am wondering if 3990-13 might be the problem??? Do you use mod 13 controllers on your ramac??

Don't worry about the Ramacs. I have Suse 8 loaded on both 3380 and 3390 Ramac Dasd Subsystems, as well as MP3000 internal dasd.
I haven't had to add disk. Mine were added durning installation.
I assume that you went to the Suse website. There is a paper on adding S390 dasd to a running Linux system. That worked for me when I added dasd to Linux 7.
