I'm haveing problems getting rhel3 installed.  I am able to boot rhel3
from vm and watch the console messages go by.   I am able to log into a
session using putty.  I am doing an ftp install.  I get the welcome screen
for RHEL AS (the install is using anaconda).  Next screen is a warning
about this being a beta and I proceed on.  Next screen, I set up my ftp
connection and that works because 3 files get loaded.  Then the  next
screen displays an error because anaconda or something cannot find my
linux disk drives.  I know they are there because I can see the sensing
activity in the console file.  Below is at the end of the dasd sensing:

Partition check:
 dasdb:CMS1/  LIN201(MDSK): dasdb1
 dasdc:CMS1/  LIN202(MDSK): dasdc1
 dasdd:CMS1/  LIN203(MDSK): dasdd1
 dasde:CMS1/  LIN204(MDSK): dasde1
 dasdf:CMS1/  LIN205(MDSK): dasdf1
 dasdg:CMS1/  LIN206(MDSK): dasdg1


I'm pretty sure I followed the install instructions to the letter for the
dasd.
a) format the dasd-->   format 201 b (blksize 4096
when that completes
b) reserve the dasd-->  reserve lin201 mdisk b
I also tried the install without reserveing the dasd.  Obviously it didn't
work.

It's like I'm missing a step in here somewhere but  I don't know what.

As a foot note to all of this, I did have it running, but needed to make
one disk larger.  When I did that, that particular disk changed to CMS1
All others were VOL1.  I figured I really messed something up, so I
reformated all of the dasd.  It went from bad to worse.  8-(
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve Gentry
