Hi -
I recently purchased a reconditioned Iomega Zip 100 external USB drive.
I installed it on my iMac running OS X 10.1. The drive works fine.
Next, I wanted to install it on an older Intel box with a Pentium-MMX
233 processor, 128mb ram, and an Award bios v4.51PG (I recently
bought a diskette to upgrade the bios from whatever version it
was back in 1997 when I bought the computer). The box has no
built-in USB ports, so I also purchased a PCI card that has 2 external
and 1 internal USB ports (supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0).
I am running Red Hat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3) on this box. Linux
apparently does not see the Zip drive. I have listed the output
from dmesg below. Note the messages:
hub.c: Cannot enable port 1 of hub 1, disabling port.
hub.c: Maybe the USB cable is bad?
Since the zip drive and cable work fine on my iMac, the USB
cable couldn't be bad (right?). On the iMac, the light on
the zip drive lights up and the drive makes noise when I
boot the iMac. When I start the linux box, the drive light
does _not_ light up, and the drive makes _no_ sound.
Could the USB card be bad? How would I know?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
