I tried your recommendations, but no change in symptom. I noticed these messages on the console:
Initially a message that said:
dasd: Registered successfully to major no 94
But later when I issue the dasdfmt, I see:
dasd: No device registered as (94:0)
It IS ok to be using older RAMAC dasd right????
We are using RAMAC 9392-B23's

Did you try:
0. verify dasd_mod , dasd_eckd_mod , dasd_fba_mod and dasd_diag_mod are
not loaded:
rmmod dasd_eckd_mod dasd_fba_mod dasd_diag_mod
rmmod dasd_mod
1. load dasd_mod with the relevant dasd parameter , e.g:
modprobe dasd_mod dasd=301,303,305
2. load the others:
modprobe dasd_eckd_mod
modprobe dasd_fba_mod
modprobe dasd_diag_mod
and then look again at /proc/dasd/devices

No. This is no longer the case with SLES 8's installer
