Hi All,
I am trying to install SUSE V8 on a Z900 Lpar. I have formatted and partitioned
4 3390 volumes
for the installation. My problem is that when I start yast I get the following
message under the
Software heading: 'not enough disk space for even a minimal installation' *
ERROR no proposal.
I have searched the suse support database but could not find anything.
It is almost like the dasd is not being seen even though when I do a cat
/proc/dasd/devices
and cat /proc/partitions I can see the dasd.
Please help - I am new to the Linux world.
Kind Regards,
Meganen

To get my installation to work I had to do 3 things for the DASD:
1. format it
2. lay down a partition table
(It sounds like you have already done those two.)
3. Use MK2FS or something similar to place a filesystem on the disk.
Then the install went fine from there.
