I am having troubles installing my zip drive. I need some education as I
am sort of a Linux novice.
I have RH6.1 kernel 2.2.12 unmodified from default installation, P366 OC
to 550, Abit BM6 MB, 64Meg SDRAM, Zip100.
Couple of basic questions first:
How do I tell what options were set for the current kernel?
What is the difference between ECP and EPP and which is best for ZIP?
I have set my pp to EPP instead of EPP+ECP on this lists advice from
1999 (never read that it was fixed).
I do this:
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc
insmod ppa -> ZIP drive spins up and light comes on
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip -> mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid
block device
insmod parport_probe
more /proc/parport/0/autoprobe
MODEL:Unknown device;
MANUFACTURER:Unknown vendor;
if I change to modprobe no difference.
I read somewhere in this list about the conf.modules file so I threw
this in with no change in results:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias scsi_hostadapter ppa
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
Also I must be using dmesg wrong because I get something entirely
different from what others are reporting back. I get something like
this:
ATAPI device hdc:
Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
(reserved error code) -- (asc=0x3a, ascq=0x01)
The failed "Test Unit Ready" packet command was:
"00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
VFS: Disk change detected on device ide1(22,0)

Am I getting so many of these it fills completely dmesg? What are these
messages telling me anyway (cant be good =)? Im pretty sure hdc is one
of my ide cdroms...
Please educate me a little.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
