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

It's been awhile, but try the du command and make sure your file systems are mounted.

Good luck,
Steve

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.
