Zip Drive Problems
I had a system crash and after a reinstall Problems with the Zip Drive.
The Zip Drive 100 was working before the crash. Now when I try
to mount the Zip DriveI get the following:
clay@linux:~ > mount /zip
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /zip
root@linux:/home/clay > mount /zip
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
What has to be done to get the kernel to recognize the Zip Drive
as a block device?
The permission for /dev/sda1 was chaged from group disk to
users and I am in the users group.
This is part of "dmesg":
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778)
[SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] parport_probe: succeeded
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 660C
ppa: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.2.x)
WARNING - no ppa compatible devices found.
As of 31/Aug/1998 Iomega started shipping parallel
port ZIP drives with a different interface which is
supported by the imm (ZIP Plus) driver. If the
cable is marked with "AutoDetect", this is what has
happened.
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
And this is a part of "lsmod ppa":
root@linux:/home/clay > lsmod ppa
