I have an LS-120. I have kernel 2.2.10-1, but this is not the point, since
it worked before with a 2.2.9 kernel.
This is what i do:
modprobe parport
modprobe parport_pc
modprobe paride
modprobe epat
modprobe pf
mount /mnt/ls120
to unmount it:
umount /mnt/ls120
rmmod pf
rmmod epat
rmmod paride
rmmod parport_pc
rmmod parport
I added in /etc/fstab the line:
/dev/pf0 /mnt/ls120 msdos noauto 0 0
hope it helps.
