I have been attempting to add another DASD to TurboLinux (OS/390). I know I have done the CP directory entry correctly for the minidisk (cyl 1 not 0), and I have formatted it using ICKDSF. I run into difficulty when the Linux guest has the new disk and I try to do the insmod and the dasdfmt. The insmod appears to work okay, however the dasdfmt will not work and the Linux guest becomes disabled. As in not able to do common commands such as ls, vi or even to view a file. I cannot even issue shutdown, (the commands get an I/O error) so I have to crash the guest as in forcing it to logoff.
Here is a sample of what I get on the VM cons log when this is happening; dasd:Cannot register to major no 94, rc = -16 dasd:Couldn't register successfully to major no 94 ll_rw_block: Trying to read nonexistent block-device 5e:01 (38954) EXT2-fs error (device unknown-block(94,1)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read ino de block - inode=71562, block=131264 Has anyone had a similar experience and if so how did you correct it.
