Hi there,
Mounting a ppa zip drive:
2.4.21-rc5-ac2 and redhat 2.4.20-13.9 report sda4 as "not a valid block device" and do not mount the drive.
2.4.21-rc6 and redhat 2.4.20-9 kernels work fine.
As two of these kernels are stock redhat releases, I doubt my .config file is relevant. My system has IDE HD & CDROM.
File '/etc/modules.conf' has no references to scsi or parport modules and I manually load modules with script zip-mount:
#!/bin/sh echo "zip-mount: load modules & mount zip drive..." insmod scsi_mod insmod sd_mod insmod parport insmod parport_pc insmod ppa mount /mnt/zip
