Hey, just got this from another list and I'm pretty sure it's the right
answer. User error on my part - thanks for your advice too.

"If you can mount /dev/hdc /archive, it sounds like you accidently
formatted the whole drive with a filesystem instead of just a partition,
so now you have NO partitions to look at with fdisk.  You probably need to
back up the data somewhere and create proper partitions on it, unless you
simply want to keep using it as one big drive."   [David Efflandt]

I'm trying to figure out which of the three newsgroups this particular
religious war or troll is actually appropriate for, and having a difficult
time coming up with an answer. Certainly the OpenGL newsgroup is the wrong
place. Perhaps it was added to the list by accident? Anyhow, if you could

Did you check to see if the file "/dev/usp/lp0" exists?

If it does, its ownership and access rights should be the same as the file
"/dev/lp0".  I say that because they might vary from system to system.  On
my system it is:

crw-rw----    root     lp

Then you could check your "/etc/printcap" file.  Check for the line:

    :lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\

If the "/usb" is missing, insert it manually.

Go look at the Asus and Abit newsgroups and see what joys people are 
having trying to get their KT133 boards to work reliably.  Especially 
with 3D hardware.

If you want rock solid reliability, go with the Intel 440BX chipset.

Excerpts from netnews.comp.os.linux.hardware: 19-Oct-100 LS-120 woes...
by Bo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
> I have an LS-120 drive installed in IDE2 as master.

[ Disclaimer.  I don't have an LS-120. ]

Master, secondary IDE channel?  Hmmm.  That should be /dev/hdc for
the entire drive, and /dev/hdcX for each specific partition.  
I don't know whether there is a default partitioning scheme for
LS-120s, but you could try 

  /sbin/fdisk /dev/hdc

then 'p' to print the partition table.

and see what number it's using, in case it's not set up as #1.
If it's not partitioned, well, then you'll need to make one 
(probably just one will do...).  Curiously, pre-formatted
Zip disks seem to use partition #4; I don't know why, or 
whether LS-120s are the same way.
 
Then you'll need to ensure there's a filesystem on it, most
likely.

> When I boot RH6.2 first time after installing it there is a screen

> and is installing software.

Hmmm.  Wonder what the software did (I'm not a RH user currently).
It didn't ask for a mount point, perchance?  You might check your
/etc/fstab just in case it added a line for you. 

> So I know it is there, but how can I "mount" it so I can use the drive

/dev/hdb1 is normally the first partition on the *slave* of the
primary IDE channel.  The devices here are assigned by channel,
not simply by number of drives.

            first channel      second channel
primary     /dev/hda           /dev/hdc        
slave       /dev/hdb           /dev/hdd

followed by partition number, starting at 1.

Another thing to check is that you do, indeed, have the
appropriate /dev files with sane attributes. 

  [[EMAIL PROTECTED] <> ~ ]->ls -al /dev/hdc /dev/hdc1
  brw-rw----   1 root     disk      22,   0 May  5  1998 /dev/hdc
  brw-rw----   1 root     disk      22,   1 May  5  1998 /dev/hdc1

(In particular, check for the 'b' -- (b)lock device -- and
 the major/minor numbers (22, x)).  The major numbers for the
other drives differ.

> So far I have only gotten responses from the OS like hdd1 is not a
> block device and such things.

Hmm.  What other such things?

Your mount point does exist as a directory already, right?

# su
# mkdir /mnt/LS120
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/LS120

should in theory work if

a) the kernel does actually support that device as configured,
   as well as the vfat filesystem.  Device support presumably
   exists since RH's software noticed it.
b) there is an LS120 floppy there, that's formatted for DOS/Win
c) the partition is #1
d) it's the primary drive on the second IDE channel


> Is there some utility/screen where I can see *all* available drives
> recognized by the system so I can know what Linux actually calls my
> LS-120? I have no clue whatsoever to what it might be called.

The device should actually be in the startup messages -- try

  dmesg | grep -i /dev/hd 

perhaps.  Note that it'll probably just spew the device without
partition number.  /sbin/fdisk is probably the fastest way to
figuring out what partition number.

Then, if it works, you'll be able to add a line to the /etc/fstab
file, like


/dev/hdc1      /mnt/LS120     vfat      noauto    0   0

substituting for the mount point as desired, or the device if
it's really a different partition etc.   After that, a simple

'mount /mnt/LS120'

should work.

Same on my system. The file is there:

Printcap file looks fine too:

Sure they are not overclockers? That is often a good way to make parts
unreliable.

And pay double price for it ( in most cases, for no reason ). I dare to
claim that of the millions of customers, only fraction has problems,
otherwise we'd heard more often about this, wouldn't we?

Bryan,

How this could be a religious war, when I am not brand loyal. I just think
it's very unfair to claim AMD is "incompatible", especilly when I know from
experience such system can be very stable and cost-efficient.

Also notice, that I did not cross post this to 3-4 newsgroups, so I have no
way of knowing which the other people participating were reading the thread
from. Suggestions on how I could know this in the future will be
appriciated.

Any follow-ups will be emailed between me and the other participant, if any,
as I emailed him directly, and I expect him to do likewise from now on.

did the directions for the install tell you to insmod or modprobe the new
module?  I take it the new module is called netdirver, or is it tulip?

Do lsmod to see if the new module is loaded.  If not then try
 
modprobe modluename eth0 

Do you get any error messages?

If not try using ifconfig to bring up the card:

ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy up

You fill in the variables.

This looks nearly correct. But I am curious about that char-major-6. 
I use SuSE so this might be totally irrelevant, but in any case I suggest
you check the following: compare "ls -l /dev/usb/lp0" with "ls -l
/dev/lp0". Do they have the same char-major-6? If so then this might
be the cause of your problems. Then check in /etc/modules.conf for the
lines containing char-major-xx (where xx are 6 and whatever other number
you found) Do these lines point to the correct modules, i.e. "printer" and 
"lp"? If the numbers are the same or the modules are the same then i bet
this is the problem. Just for reference, in SuSE (including 7.0) USB
printing only works if you compile it in kernel, for some strange reason
the USB module "printer" does not autoload, although it can be loaded
manually. Hope this helps ...
C.
