Comment 12 Frank LeFevre 2004-03-18 20:05:12 UTC
Is there any reason why this can't be included in the mkdev package? 
Just seems that it would remove one piece of complexity for folks 
setting up scsi on Z for the first time. 

Comment 13 Bob Johnson 2004-03-18 22:25:39 UTC
At this date for U2 we can not add this.
Does the workaround work ?
We can entertain this for U3.


Comment 18 Brock Organ 2004-07-01 17:08:29 UTC
internally verified fixed with MAKEDEV-3.3.12.3-1 ...

Comment 20 Bob Johnson 2005-03-08 21:31:16 UTC
IBM pleae retest, believe this is in U3.

Comment 21 Brock Organ 2005-03-10 21:11:12 UTC
looked at U4 system, verified /dev/sd* nodes present ...
