Did you run mkinitrd before you did the zipl ? Installing a new kernel also installs new drivers, and you have to make a new initrd to hold those drivers at IPL time since SuSE does not compile the dasd drivers into the kernel. ( Neither does RedHat - for that matter )

When linux first starts, does it report the kernel version that you'd expect? ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
