I have a similar problem with linux-2.1.97, Redhat5.0 distribution. But in my
case paride,epat and pd are built into the kernel. I can also mount, read and
write but eventually the system will freeze when I access my Sparq a couple of
times. Is the version of the drive shipped with 2.1.97 known to run without
bugs, as far as you guys can tell ? It's been four months now that I've been
trying to set up my promossing Sparq investiment under Linux...I also tried
the drivers with linux 2.0.30, 2.0.32 and 2.1.77 under Redhat4.0 but didn't
succeed. Because of this problems I still have to keep Windows95 in my machine.
Sparqs runs smooth with it.
If any of you guys know what I should do to correct my problem I would appreci
ate your help.
