I'm having two problems that may or may not be related. Both my modem
and my Zip drive are completely failing to work. (They both worked
under RH 5.2 and still work under Win '95.) When trying to use the
modem I get no response from minicom, and KPPP tells me that the "modem
is busy". When trying 'modprobe ppa', I'm told that the parallel port
is reporting no SCSI devices and/or that the "device or resource is
busy". First things first, I really want the modem to work and then I
can deal with the Zip drive. Therefore...
I've checked everything I can think of. A 'setserial -g /dev/ttyS0'
shows that it is configured correctly (IRQ and I/O addresses are the
same as in Win' 95). I've also checked /proc/interrupts and the IRQ is
not listed as being used elsewhere.
Is this something that can be fixed by getting the new initscripts?
(I've already updated the kernel packages, but since the initscripts
update wasn't in that same ftp directory I wasn't sure at first how
official it was.) If so, I've got that RPM and will install it
tonight. I just wanted to check here first to see if anyone had any
other ideas.
Thanks,
Mike
