Installing RedHat Enterprise 3 under z/VM 4.4

Hello list  , 

Has anyone else had a problem were Linux can't see the DASD defined on the 
z/VM  host ?    .. 

The messages on the VM guest seem to be ok,  but when I SSH in I get a 
message saying "no disk drives found"


I'm using NFS on a RedHat Enterprise 3 (Intel) machine for the install.. 


Thanks Larry

Enter parameters you need to pass to the channel device layer. 
This includes the I/O ports of your ctc, escon, qeth, hsi and lcs devices.
