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'.
This issue is resolved in RHEL3 U2 ...
