Which (date) version of the initrd.img and kernel.img files are you using? What is in your redhat.parm file? Are you using the rhsetup script, or something else?

Somehow rhsetup could not mount the dasd and change the root direcotry. Although I specified 'y' to low level format, it returned immediately and asked next question. Here are the error messages after answering all dasd formating questions (I have 200-204, in which 200 will be ipl volume, 201 at root, 202 usr, 203 home and 204 swap) : /home Mountpoint /dev/dasdd1 /usr Mountpoint /dev/dasdc1 / Mountpoint /dev/dasdb1 mount: special device /dev/dasdb1 does not exist mount: special device /dev/dasdd1 does not exist mount: special device /dev/dasdc1 does not exist Getting package information Installing packages...

It seems that the rhsetup has difficulty mounting the dasd since >/dev does not have dasda1, dasda, dasdb, dasdb1, etc. although dasd=200-21f >and DASD=200-20f have been speicified in parm file. > >Any advice? > > > >From: Don Mullins <donm@creditprotect.com> > >Reply-To: Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> > >To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU > >Subject: Re: RedHat Beta - CTC driver problem - No such device > >Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 08:38:15 -0500 > > > >Hi, > >I had to put this: 'chandev=ctc0,0x600,0x601' in my parm file for RedHat >to > >find the CTC. > > > >Hope this helps. > > > >Don Mullins > >Credit Protection Association > >972-233-9614 > >donm@creditprotect.com > > > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Hartmut Schulz [mailto:SCHULZHA@de.ibm.com] > >Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 6:44 AM > >To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU > >Subject: RedHat Beta - CTC driver problem - No such device > > > > > >Hi, > >trying to start the initial image, it was not possible to get the ctc > >connection running. > >Even, if starting the driver manually, it doesn't detect the devices. > >Any idea? > >. > >CP Q CTC > >CTCA 0250 3088 COUPLED TO ROUTER03 9051 SUBCHANNEL = 0007 > >CTCA 0251 3088 COUPLED TO ROUTER03 9050 SUBCHANNEL = 0008 > >CTCA 0260 3088 NOT READY SUBCHANNEL = 0009 > >CTCA 0261 3088 NOT READY SUBCHANNEL = 000A > >. > >Starting the S390 initrd to configure networking.
