Hello,

I never used Slack 390, but on SLES, I usually run mkinitrd to rebuild the
initial ramdisk image (cd /boot prior to run the command), then I run the
zipl command.

On older SLES version, I used to edit by hand the content of the
/etc/zipl.conf file to list all of my devices.

I hope this helps.
