A postscript to my earlier reply: Instead of trying to deactivate your FBA vdisk swap and reactivate them to use DIAG before running mkinitrd, you could modify the /boot/initrd file to change the /sbin/dasd_configure's to activate your vdisks to use DIAG Change from /sbin/dasd_configure <busid> 1 0 to /sbin/dasd_configure <busid> 1 1
