I'm confused.  Are you adding the s390.patch to parted-1.8.1?  As of 
1.8.0, DASD support has been in parted.  It works on S/390 and zSeries 
(S/390x) systems, so this could be a problem with hercules disk images. 
  I can't look at it now, but I can on Thursday, probably.  I want to 
compare it on zSeries and then on hercules.
