SCSI,ZIP Drive
I'm trying to run a scsi zip, but when I go to load the scsi
module:
>modprobe sd_mod
I get a long pause during which my console spits out this:
========================================================================

=========================================================================
my dmesg clearly shows that it can see my zip drive. but does not
report back a device name (/dev/sd?). The above reports something about
sda but I cannot mount that. The console reports errors similar to
the above ones. The last line of the above reads that its
"unable to read partition table", what does that mean? is it scsi
error? a kernel/module error? help... -marlon
