Re: zipl does not pick up "new" disks

"You have to use mkinitrd to create a new /boot/initrd* file as the
information
is copied into it without any way to override it."

1) edit /etc/modules.conf for the new dasd addresses

1) cd /boot      (without the the new initrd will end up in the directory
you issued the mkinitrd in)

2) mkinitrd newinitrd $(uname -r)

3) update  /etc/zipl.conf

        ramdisk=/boot/newinitrd

4) zipl   (to update the ramdisk file name)

You can use the old name if you

- cd /boot

- mkinitrd -f initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

note: the version number (uname -r) must be the same as the /lib/modules
subdirectory with the version modules. If not, then you need to use the
subdirecotry name of /lib/modules, i.e., if there is a /lib/modules/abcd,
used abcd as the release.
