Description Oliver Paukstadt 2004-02-23 09:09:12 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20040107

Description of problem:
S/390 and zSeries have a special /etc/makedev.d/ without the common
linux-2.4.x macros.

The newest Kernels support zfcp scsi support but it is not possible to
use MAKEDEV to create the device nodes in /dev.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
MAKEDEV-3.3.8-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /dev
2. ./MAKEDEV sd
3. ls -lrt
    

Actual Results:  Nothing happens because there are no macros for sd
devices in the s390 MAKEDEV package

Expected Results:  zfcp/scsi needs the scsi device nodes to work with it.

Additional info:

I copied the /etc/makedev.d/linux-2.4.x from the i386 Package of EL3
and was able to create the device nodes.

Known problem, RHEL3 U2 will have a fixed version of the MAKEDEV
package that creates all the scsi devices.

Setting to modified until errata is released.

Read ya, Phil

Tested the MAKEDEV-3.3.12-1.s390x.rpm and dev-3.3.12-1.s390x.rpm with 
RHEL 3 UPD1 on a z990 in LPAR. It worked as expected, the sd devices 
were defined after './MAKEDEV sd'.

Comment 7 Brock Organ 2004-08-10 21:50:12 UTC
This issue is resolved in RHEL3 U2 ...
