scsi zip & zip accelerator card & CD
Hi,
Does any one have a SCSI zip & SCSI zip accelerator card and were able to
get these recognized during installation?
I am trying to repartion & reinstall debian 1.3, and seem to get through
most steps except getting the ZIP drive to work. I also notice that after
each step of the installation a message in the background saying that my
cdrom tray is open. It is not. Having gone through the installation a
couple times, I know I can mount the CDROM drive once the installation is
complete.
I don't know if there is an IRQ conflict between the CDROM and the SCSI. I
wonder about this because I have an IDE Mitsumi CDROM drive and when I try
to install these drivers command-line options are preset to: mc
mcd=0X300,11,0X304,5 (as the io and irq pairs). Installation of both the
mcd & mcdx fail, messages say 'device or resource busy.'
However, if I just choose plain cdrom, this installation is successful and
after installation I can access the CDROM ok.
Noting that SCSI zip irq's are preset to irq 11, I changed the IRQ on the
zip, then tried to go through again with the installation but this also
didn't work.
I have tried putting a zip disk into the zip drive to see if that helps
detection but I still get 0 scsi hosts detected.
Are there any other steps in the installation where I need to make sure
there is SCSI support? i.e. in configuring device modules, am I supposed to
use one of those four controllers? or, install PPA? I didn't think I needed
PPA since it is not a parallel Zip drive.
Is my only option to build a new kernel?
If you can cc'me I would appreciate it. I am only subscribed in digest mode
and the web subscription to subscribe in regular mode seems to be down at
the moment.
TIA,
Thalia
