I am doing an install on an IBM Z9 LPAR of 6.0.3.

The install was going smoothly until I got to "Configure direct access

storage device". I supplied an address and was ask if I wanted to

format it; I said yes and when it finished it went back to the

previous screen. It just keeps alternating these screens.



In another session if I do # cat /proc/dasd/devices I get:



0.0.2249(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 1803060 blocks, 7043 MB

0.0.224a(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 1803060 blocks, 7043 MB



How do I move forward?

Thanks, ...........Larry

Could you provide us with a dump of /var/log/syslog, please?

Philipp,

I would be happy to do that. I know almost nothing about Linux or its commands. Can you suggest a technique? I do have the file name on my terminal but do not know how to list it.

Thanks, ...........Larry
