[PARPORT] EUREKA.....!!! sort of..

I have finally gotten the 2.2.9 source tree up...and compiled...with the
ppSCSI-9.90.patch.

I got the kernel compiled to bzImage....and...copied to loadlin dir...on
dos disk...
ya da ya da ya da...

I reboot do

cd /lib/modules/2.2.9/scsi

insmod scsi_mod (so far great)
insmod sd_mod (so far great)
insmod ppscsi (so far great)

then for sure I do lsmod....

and see they are loaded......

then I do a

insmod epst

........now here is the bad part....sigh.

The syquest initiallizes...but freezes....the prompt...and this is the
readout I get...

==========================================================
insmod epst.o
 epst.1: epst 0.90 (0.90), Shuttle EPST at 0x378 mode 0 (Nybble) dly 1
nice 0 sg
 16
 scsi0 : epst
 scsi : 1 host.
   Vendor: SyQuest Model: SyJet-S Rev: 0092
     Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
     Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0
     SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 2929800 [1430 MB]

     sda: Write Protect is off
      sda: (THIS IS WHERE THE CURSOR STOPS....FOR ABOUT 30 SEC)

      scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
       unable to read partition table

===============================================

I tried loading them in different orders...i.e..

insmod scsi_mod
insmod ppsci
insmod epst

        This then completely loaded the epst drivers with no
trouble....all ready to go...

then
insmod sd_mod....and I would get the same output as above.....

obviously I am missing something....perhaps some parameters to pass
either sd_mod or epst???

Any help appreciated...

AT LEAST I learned how to do patches.....

and change source trees.....and I have a working 2.2.9 kernel...
