I have installed Centos and trying to install 10gR2. Wile adding the disks to the ASM, I get the error as below

[root_at_whp-lindbmon ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk vol1 /dev/sda10

Marking disk "/dev/sda10" as an ASM disk: Error opening manager: No such device or address

Any pointers?? The partition sda10 is there.
