Well, that at least created /proc/dasd/devices and an lsmod command shows that all of the appropriate modules are loaded, yet I still get the "YAST2 - DASD Module Parameter Setting" screen to which I have to "abort" out of and receive an error suggesting that "there are no DASD devices active". This then takes me to the "Installation Settings" screen where the "Software" screen with "not enough disk space", etc...

Ok, I insmod dasd_mod, dasd_eckd_mod, dasd_diag_mod and dasd_fba_mod. Then I run "modprobe dasd_mod dasd=0200-0204,0222". I get nothing back and /proc/dasd/devices does not get updated. I end up in the small spot. Am I missing an appropriate mod or is my modprobe command incomplete? -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Little, Chris Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 11:06 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Am I missing something in SLES8 install? Known bug with SLES 8. open a ssh session and manually insmod the dasd modules and device parameters before beginning the installation. -----Original Message----- From: Wiggins, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 9:55 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Am I missing something in SLES8 install? We have a need to install SLES8 as opposed to SLES9 like we normally do, so this is my first attempt at a SLES8 install. When I get to the "YAST2 - DASD Module Parameter Settings" screen, I enter "dasd=0200-0204,0222" and click on the "Load Module" button. We're using 9336 emulated FBA devices which I CMS formatted. From the VM console I can see where /proc/dasd/devices is set up and each device is allocated to a device letter (e.g. /dev/dasda, /dev/dasdb, etc). At this point I have to "Abort" from the "DASD Module screen", I'm assuming because I don't have any ECKD devices, only FBA devices??? Anyway, this then takes me to the "Installation Settings" screen where I'm able to set up the partitioning of all of my disk. This is where the real problem starts. In SLES9 after I set up all of my partitioning and exit the "YAST2 - Partitioner" screen, the "Software" screen knows what I've just done and allows me to choose what software I want based on how much space I have just allocated. In SLES8, this doesn't happen and the "YAST2 - Software" screen shows "NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE EVEN FOR A MINIMAL INSTALLATION". What am I doing wrong? Can I not install the base SLES8 system on 9336 devices?
