Hi Dave. Wheezy uses sysconfig-hardware for this. To have the DASD come online automatically, follow a procedure similar to the one below. Do this as root. cd /etc/sysconfig/hardware touch config-ccw-0.0.0204 update-initramfs -uk $(uname -r) The above example assumes that the device number to be added is 0204. Change this as appropriate for your system. There are some bug reports against sysconfig-hardware that you might want to take a look at. They haven't been fixed, but the bug reports show how to fix them. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=sysconfig-hardware You might also find some of my web pages available on my web site useful: http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/index.htm -- .''`.
