I have a ls120 10 centimeters away from my left hand, and it works quite nicely?! anyway, there are a lot of pb with ls120: mkbootdisk fails (needs adding "disk=/dev/hdd bios=0" and replace the root=/dev/fd0 of the "rescue" label (usefull?)) i've patched DrakX to work more properly: good entry in fstab (with or without supermount), mkbootdisk handling is now ok. If only mkbootdisk'd work :) i wonder what is the best solution for this nasty ls120? i wonder if anyone ever use it partionned. Seems strange kernel handling as for me. It'd be better on fd0 This is what happens when i try it with supermount: [root@unknown /root]# ls /mnt/ls120 ls: /mnt/ls120: Input/output error [root@unknown /root]# Clipping from /etc/fstab /mnt/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom1 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 #/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 ext2 auto 0 /mnt/ls120 /mnt/ls120 supermount fs=ext2,dev=/dev/ls120 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/home1 ext2 defaults 1 2 localhost2:/home/roger /home/roger nfs user,exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1 (the supermount stays after i rem'd/commented out the supermount check script in "mandrake everytime") Now if i change it to "/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 fs=ext2 0 ", i can mount/umount the ls120. don't why supermount shouldn't work tho' on the ls120. and here's a clipping from my /var/log/messages file (if it means anything): Mar 16 12:51:40 PAM_pwdb[625]: (kde) session opened for user root by (uid=0) Mar 16 13:02:34 kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 2, asc = 3a, ascq = 0 Mar 16 13:02:34 kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 1b, key = 2, asc = 3a, ascq = 0 Mar 16 13:02:34 kernel: hdd: The drive reports both 126222336 and 0 bytes as its capacity I also tried turning off hdd optimizations in the "mandrake_everytime" script but didn't seem to help one bit. The kernel 2.2.14-15mdk has been recompiled to include all necessary modules instead of "as module". The "supermount.o" check in "mandrake_everytime" had to be commented out/rem'd out to not check for this module. I can supermount my 2 cdrom's tho'. (one ide-scsi, and one scsi w/ scsi adapter). Another error i get is a "Segementation Fault" when checking as command line w/ "ls /mnt/ls120". At this point it usually "locks" the o/s and will not umount the /mnt/ls120. Only hope is to umount each /dev/hda* and not working about the /dev/ hdd (/mnt/ls120) until shutdown. Maybe smp and the above configuration is conflicting with this device somewhere causing me not to simply, "change the desktop floppy icon url and fstab"? This is weird. In the cooker (prior to release of 7.0 and 7.0-2) the ls120 was detected and worked on supermount (i'm sure it did atleast work!). After i erased adn did a intall of 7.0, nothing, didn't work.
