Hi,
I hope this isn't off topic for this list, excuse me if it is.
I have just installed the improved version of the Iomega parallel port by copying the source over the original files (linux/driver/scsi) and doing a re-build over the original (which worked fine). I have a loadable module and the Kernel is v 2.0.30.
When I do an insmod ppa it inserts correctly, but I cannot mount /dev/sda4 as before :-
[root@grommit 2.0.x]# mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /zip mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?)
The output from dmesg is the following :-
ppa: Version 1.26s Probing port 03bc Probing port 0378 SPP port present ECP with a 0 byte FIFO present EPP 1.7 ppa: 0x0378 EPP 32 bit (ECP present) Probing port 0278 scsi1 : Iomega parport ZIP drive scsi : 1 host. scsi : 0 hosts.
Any reason why I can't mount it?? Can you shed some light on what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks for your time and effort in anticipation of your response,
Sincerely,
Phil Robinson
