Dear everybody at this forum,
I'm looking for an advice to resolve the problem with the parallel-port
Iomega ZIP-100 drive. I'm using RedHat6.2 with the kernel 2.2.14-5.0.
Initially there were no parallel port modules installed. When I tried to
install the ppa module, I got the following error message:
/root> lsmod
Module Size Used by
lockd 30792 1 (autoclean)
sunrpc 53316 1 (autoclean) [lockd]
3c59x 19048 1 (autoclean)
nls_iso8859-1 2244 3 (autoclean)
nls_cp437 3752 3 (autoclean)
vfat 9308 3 (autoclean)
fat 30784 3 (autoclean) [vfat]

/root> modprobe ppa
/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource

/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/scsi/ppa.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/scsi/ppa.o: insmod ppa failed
Then I tried to install the imm module as well as lp, and they installed
okay:
/root> lsmod

vfat 9308 3 (autoclean)
fat 30784 3 (autoclean) [vfat]

However, the mount command fails (maybe I cannot find the correct letter
for the
device?). The example output is:
/root> mount -t vfat /dev/sdb4 /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/sdb4 is not a valid block device
I cannot use /dev/sda4, as it's usually advised, because that is one of
partitions on my disk.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
