Hello list, Thanks for all the suggestions. I've tried scrubbing, I've tried soaking, but I still get ... (no, sorry, just kidding)
I've tried CMS formatting, I've tried VNC, I've tried SSH with two shells, but I still get: Error │ │ No hard disks and no hard disk controllers were │ │ found for the installation. │ │ Check your hardware. *After* I activate my two minidisks, from a second shell, I can see: inst-sys:~ # cat /proc/dasd/devices 0.0.0151(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 36000 blocks, 140 MB 0.0.0150(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 555840 blocks, 2171 MB inst-sys:~ # lsmod | grep dasd dasd_eckd_mod 91476 6 dasd_mod 100678 3 dasd_eckd_mod But then after formatting, as yast goes to the next screen, all is gone: inst-sys:~ # cat /proc/dasd/devices inst-sys:~ # lsmod | grep dasd So I try putting the disks back manually: inst-sys:~ # modprobe dasd_mod dasd=0.0.0150,0.0.0151 inst-sys:~ # modprobe dasd_eckd_mod inst-sys:~ # lsmod | grep dasd dasd_eckd_mod 91476 0 dasd_mod 100678 1 dasd_eckd_mod inst-sys:~ # cat /proc/dasd/devices But they're still not there. This is really strange. I can't think of anything else, so it may be a pain, but I'll try defining the two minidisks on a different CEC using the same cylinders and seeing if the install works from there. Stay tuned ...
