I've just compiled (twice...) a kernel version 2.2.9 both with SCSI
support and SCSI-support and SCSI disk support (once within the kernel
as it's said under Documentation/README.ppa and one as all modules).
With none of them I could mount my Iomega parallel port.
Tried loading and unloading "lp" module (to avoid conflicts I found in
prior kernel versions).
I also tried depmod -a, modprobe ppa, rmmod"ing" all possible
modules... and reloading what I could imagine...
It could usually be mounted (on previous kernels) with:
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/omega
but now I get the following error message:
---------- 0 ------------
[root@dr .../2.2.9/scsi ]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/omega
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 524289

sda: Write Protect is off
sda:scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0

mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block devic8e
---------- 0 ----------------
Even being loaded pppa.o .
TIA...
