Help! My USB Zip drive is still not working!
Thanks to all of you that have been willing to submit help for my
previous posting (Zip drive problems). However, I can still not figure
out how to get this thing working. I am using a USB 100 Mb Iomega Zip
drive, have hotplug, modutils, usbutils, ifupdown installed, have built
into the kernel usb-storage, usb-core, ide-scsi, sg. I have tried all
of what have been suggested in the answers for the previous posting.
Trying to mount the drive as /dev/sdYX where X can be any number and Y
can be a, d etc, does not produce any results - still get the answer
that sdaX is not a block device. When I try to run fdisk on /dev/sda, I
get the message back "unable to open /dev/sda". I have created a mount
point /zip , and in the /dev/fstab I have added
/dev/sda4 /zip auto rw,user,nosuid,sync,mode=0777 0
Below is the part of the start up message that deals with usb/zip drive:

Let me add that I am new to Linux, so I have no clue of what to do from
here...
Thanks for any help!
