    Hi Guys

    A slight update that might be of use to some. The stability issue seems to
    have been resolved by repacing all insmods's with modpobe's in
    /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Guys

    Seems I'm close to succeeding with the ls-120 (parport model) on Mandrake
    Linux 7.2

    What's happenning is that the system boots and regognises it, I can then
    mount it and list the files. But when I use a prog like xmms to play the
    mp3's on it, it just hangs the entire system to the point I physically have
    to push the reset button. I've had to modify 3 files to get it this far, as
    follows

    /etc/fstab

    /mnt/ls-120 /mnt/ls-120 supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/pf0 0 0

    /etc/modules.conf

    pre-install supermount modprobe paride
    pre-install supermount modprobe epat
    pre-install supermount modprobe pf

    and lastly
    /rc.d/rc.local

    /sbin/insmod paride
    /sbin/insmod epat
    /sbin/insmod pf

    Anyone got ideas as to where I've gone wrong here?
