Dear Sir or Madam,
I am new to Linux (and certainly mailing list) so please allow me if I am
not making any sense here.
I tried to load some device drivers to activate my Back Pack Hard Disk on my
Caldera OpenLinux 2.2. It worked on the first shot by the following
commands:
#insmod paride
#insmod bpck
#insmod pd
Then I mounted the 1st partition (2GB) with:
#mount /dev/pda1 /mnt/BP01 vfat defaults,user 0 0
After that I can see all the directories and files in long filename with:
#ls -al /mnt/BP01 | less
However after I reboot the notebook (I am running my Linux on a Sony Vaio);
I can no longer repeat the above procedure. I boot into Windows 98 and
click on the BackPack applet under Control Panel and found:
BACKPACK HARDDRIVE 15.0
LPT 0378
PPC 50772D, ID98, Hard Drive
TxFW, RxBi, T1=3, T2=3, T8=3
MPD 2.01.14
I tested the hardware under Win98 by transfer some files back and forth to
make sure this is not a hardware problem. But as I boot back to my Linux
and ran "dmesg" I got the following log (note that I issued "insmod pd
verbose=2"). It seems the driver "pd" failed to talk to the hardware for
some reason. Could you please give me a hand to solve this problem ? Thank
you very much.
