Greetings -- I'm trying to get an ATAPI Zip drive going on an Inspiron 7000. This is a modular drive which inserts in the device bay instead of a floppy/dvd combo.
Originally, I had ATAPI FLOPPY support enabled. However, upon startup, I saw
hda: (my IDE drive recognized allright) hdc: , ATAPI FLOPPY? ... deciding floppy -- or something.
Now, every time I try to mount /dev/hdc /mnt/zip
I get a ton of errors scrolling through teh screen without the zip light ever blink (but the hard drive light blinks!), and the messages read
ide-floppy: possible ide-floppy.c bug - Two request sense in serial were issued ide-floppy: hdc: I/O Error, pc = 23, key = 0, asc = 0, ascq = 0 hdc: ATAPI reset complete ... ... (a ton of these) ... ide-floppy: possible ide-floppy.c bug - Two request sense in serial were issued ide-floppy: hdc: I/O Error, pc = 23, key = 0, asc = 0, ascq = 0 Error in REQUEST SENSE itself - Aborting request!
Now, I read a tip at ZIP-Drive-HOWTO, obsolete -- of 1998, about _disabling_ ATAPI FLOPPY suppor and enabling IDE SCSI Emulation. OK, I made both as modules. When I try to install ide-floppy, same errors scroll. When, however, I load ide-scsi, this is what I get:
hdc: <3>ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 0 unable to read partition table scsi0: SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices scsi : 1 host scsi0 : channel 0 target 0 lun 0 requet sense failed, performing reset. SCSI bus is being reset for channel 0.
I suspect it they try to read the hard drive, instead of the ZIP one.
When I enabled SCSI core support itself in the kernel, the hdc: line reads something like HOLOFA ZIP 100, ATAPI floppy, with a lot of @ thrown in.
Documentation/{ide, scsi}.txt don't talk about it, do they? Anybody who made it work on an Inspiron 7000K? What the general problem can be?
