: Well, I just compiled the unstable version of ftape. I use Debian 2.1
: with kernel 2.2.12. Everything compiled cleanly, or so it seems. I am
: trying to get my iomega ditto max parallel port version to work with
:
: I install modules in the following order.
:
: insmod ftape
: insmod zftape
: insmod bpck-fdc
:
: Then I try " tar df /dev/qft0 " and it says
:
: tar: Cannot open /dev/qft0: Operation not supported by device
: tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
:
: Then I looked at dmesg, and it gave me lines like the following.
The messages look, as if you didn't enable parallel port support.
Reconfigure you kernel and say "M" (or "Y") to the parport options,
especially to the option "Auto-probe for parallel devices" in the PnP
section. If you have precompiled kernel and modules you don't have
to compile them, just do the configure.
Afterwards recompile ftape; it will grab the configurations from
/usr/src/linux.
