OK, I got it !! Thank you all guys. This is the fix to this problem ===============================
I had defined the VM Directory minidisks using decimal notation (...8, 9, 10, 11, etc.) instead of hexadecimal (...8, 9, A, B...). And in zipl.conf I used the range 503-563 but zipl expected an hexadecimal notation, so there were missing ranges (50A-50F, etc.) So the problem has two possible solutions: - Either modify the VM directory using correlative hexadecimal addresses for the minidisks (this is the fastest and easiest way) - or modify zipl.conf like this: 503-509,510-519,520-529,530-539,540-549,550-559,560-563 (which certainly isn't so fast and rather unconfortable). I hope this may help if any of you faces this problem in the future. Again thanks a lot for your inspiration. :-) Saludos, Best Regards José R. Barón Dpto. Sistemas CALCULO S. A.

If they're not, then you'll probably need to look at your initrd to see if they're listed there, and fix it if they're not.

I will try to answer your questions now: - I used yast2 to activate the dasd. It worked fine. - This is exactly what I changed in /etc/zipl.conf: (added 503-563 dasd interval) parameters = "dasd=150-151,503-563 root=/dev/dasdb1 selinux=0 TERM=dumb elevator=cfq" - Yes, I ran zipl after modifying zipl.conf - pvscan ran cleanly before re-ipling the system. - all the filesystems were mounted correctly before re-ipling.
