Subject: S/390 Installation - Device Drivers




I have run into a snag when installing RHE3 on S/390.  It won't recognize
the DASD that is attached to my ram system.  When I start the installation,
my VM screen show the DASD device is assigned:

dasd(eckd): /dev/dasda  ( 94:  0),0200@02: (4kB blks): 2403360kB at 48kB/trk
linux disk layout 

But when I get farther into the installation it tells me: 

  No hard drives have been found.   
  You probably need to manually 
  choose device drivers for the     
  installation to succeed.  Would  
  you like to select drivers now?


Then it tells me I have no device drivers.   How do I get around this?  How
can I get device drivers on my ram system?
