I wrote 22 May 2003 with this problem, I still can't get it working. Redhat's new kernel(s) I got via RHN won't mount my zip drive.
John Horne (Thanks John!) from this list suggested I try to mount /dev/sda rather than /dev/sda4. I tried that but it produced the same result for 'mount /dev/sda /mnt/zip' mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device In /etc/rc.d/rc.local I added: modprobe imm mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip in the last kernel that worked 2.4.20-9smp dmesg shows, imm: Version 2.05 (for Linux 2.4.0) imm: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit imm: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use SPP imm: Communication established at 0x378 with ID 6 using SPP scsi1 : Iomega VPI2 (imm) interface Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: P.04 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 196608 512-byte hdwr sectors (101 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: sda4 I'd like to use the 2 newer kernels since they have security/bug fixes, 2.4.20-13.9smp and 2.4.20-18.9smp but for both of them dmesg shows: imm: Version 2.05 (for Linux 2.4.0) imm: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit imm: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use SPP imm: Communication established at 0x378 with ID 6 using SPP scsi1 : Iomega VPI2 (imm) interface Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: P.04 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 scsi: device set offline - not ready or command retry failed after bus reset: host 1 channel 0 id 6 lun 0 SCSI device sda: 196608 512-byte hdwr sectors (101 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table BTW: it is the same disk in the drive and it is inserted properly. ;-) And parport_pc is loaded too. Any help would be appreciated! - Dios te bendiga - Dennis +The problem with so many great applications is that they behave like software! -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
