Hi Neville,
I've followed what you told me: inputting the line "/dev/hdc /ls120
msdos rw,no auto, user 0 0" in the /etc/fstab, but it seems that
still doesn't work. The two messages still appear after lilo. The
ls-120 cannot be mounted in root user as well as normal users. I
think the kenel can detect a ATAPI drive in hdc but can't recognize
the disk drive is a ls-120 and doesn't load the required driver for
it. The BIOS can detect the disk as a ls-120 and I can use it under
windows 98 (I have two OS in my PC). What do you think that I should
do to make the kernel recognizes my ls-120?
John
