Hi,

I've got an external "Swap Drive" for connecting with my notebook
computer via the parallel port. Everything works fine when I use the HD
with Windows NT.

When I try to load the desired modules for linux (SUSE 6.1), the
following messages occour:

May 29 10:40:03 Kai_Laptop_PC kernel:  unable to read partition table
---
The driver seems to find a HD, but he reads wrong partition data?! I
remember that the driver already worked once. Then I installed another
Kernel version (2.0.3x -> 2.2.x) and it didn't work any more :-(
Can anybody help me with my problem? I'm not a professional using Linux,
so I don't know all things to try else. In the documentation is written
to change the "Delay" of the parallel port. How can I do that? Or do I
have a different problem?
Greetings,
