Folks,
I feel bad about writing to this list, but I'm at a loss.
I have a Compaq laptop running Slackware 3.5 with Linux kernal 2.0.34.
I loaded the binaries -- I didn't try to compile my own kernal. I have an
Iomega Ditto 2GB tape drive. When I compiled ftape, it did complain about
stuff (as the linux source was missing), but the three modules I needed were
produced, so I figured I was okay.
This is what I added to /etc/conf.modules:
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none
When I load the modules (ftape.o zftape.o and bpck-fdc.o) I get these error
messages in the log:
bpck-fdc.c (bpck_fdc_detect) - can't find bpck interface for ftape id 0.
bpck-fdc.c (bpck_fdc_detect) - ft_parport_probe(fdc, &bpck->parinfo) failed: -6
fdc-io.c (fdc_search_driver) - No tape drive found for "bpck-fdc" driver.
fdc-io.c (fdc_init) - fdc_search_driver(ftape->drive_sel) failed: -6.
ftape-ctl.c (ftape_enable) - fdc_init(ftape) failed: -6.
zftape-ctl.c (_zft_open) - ftape_enable(sel) failed: -6.
zftape-init.c (zft_open) - _zft_open failed.
What's a bpck interface? What isn't it finding?
Am I right in thinking that some trivial setting is wrong? Or should I bite
the bullet, get the kernal sources and compile my own?
Mark
