I'm running Caldera 1.2, kernel upgraded to 2.0.35, patches for the
3c905 ethernet card and the floppy drive controller problem (mentioned in
the ftape 4.02 docs) applied. The hardware is a Dell OptiPlex GXa, Pentium
II, 64 MB RAM, standard onboard floppy controller.
I've built the kernel to do modules, and I've successfully built the ftape
programs as well.
I'm now having problems getting the ftape-internal module to insert into
the kernel. I'm doing the following insmod commands (to get it working
before I go to kerneld):
insmod ./ftape.o ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,\
none ft_tracings=3,3,3,3,3
insmod ./zftape.o ft_major_device_number=27
insmod ./ftape-internal.o ft_fdc_fc10=0 ft_fdc_mach2=0 \
ft_fdc_base=0x3f0 ft_fdc_dma=2 ft_fdc_irq=6 \
ft_fdc_threshold=15 ft_fdc_rate_limit=4000
The first two work fine. The last one fails with
"Initialization of ftape-internal failed"
The output of lsmod is:
Module: #pages: Used by:
zftape 20 0
ftape 34 [zftape] 0
My /etc/conf.modules is:
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,none
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x3f0 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
pre-install ftape-internal /usr/local/bin/swapout 15
The system log contains the following lines after trying to install the
ftape-internal module:
Dec 10 13:21:34 antioch kernel: fdc-internal.c: fdc_internal_register @
0x0484f7

I'm lost at this point. What would I need to be looking for to get
ftape-internal installed? I'm
stumped.
