Hoi,
I noticed following strange problem with kmod and the PPA devices. After modularizing alle the scsi components (scsi_mod,sd_mod,ppa) and restarting the computer mounting the iomega would only install the scsi_mod and the sd_mod module.
my conf_modules file that worked with kerneld and the 2.0.xx kernels
<snip> block-char-major-8 sd_mod install sd_mod insmod -k ppa && insmod -k sd_mod
or
<snip> block-char-major-8 ppa post-install ppa insmod -k sd_mod
doesnt semm to work with kmod. Using my iomega fairly often I decided to put all the scsi stuff in the kernel except for the ppa module. Here I get another problem. Mounting the zip for the first time works. The ppa module gets installed and the zip gets mounted. If I try to mount the device a second time - meanwhile I unmounted the device and the ppa module was freed - I get a /dev/zip non valid block-device error. Doing an lsmod shows me that the ppa module wasnt loaded automatically. insmod -k ppa still works.
I dont have problems with other module its just the SCSI-ppa combo that gives me problems.
BTW, im using the lates modutils 2.1.85
Cheers, Mike
