[11:27] <xnox> Looking at s390-dasd code, for dasd drives esentially 0.0.0xxx is converted into xxx and then used as an integer.
[11:28] <xnox> is it at all possible to have dasd drives on e.g. 1.1.1000?
[11:56] <hca> xnox, yes it's possible to have dasd drives on e.g. 1.1.1000. which dasd code did you look at?
[11:59] <xnox> hca, i'm looking at s390-dasd - debian-installer component.
[11:59] <xnox>         if (sscanf (i, "0.0.%04x", &ret) == 1)
[11:59] <xnox>                 return ret;
[11:59] <xnox>         if (sscanf (i, "%04x", &ret) == 1)
[11:59] <xnox>                 return ret;
[11:59] <xnox>         return -1;
[12:00] <hca> xnox, ok i thought you were talking about the kernel code
[12:00] <xnox> this clearly tries to reduce the dasd drive id, down to an integer, ignoring leading digits.
[12:01] <xnox> so my 2 british pence bet, is that installations fail on ids 0.1. and higher =)
[12:01] <hca> sure :)
[12:01]  * xnox opens a bug report.
[12:03] <xnox> bug #1583138
