Internal ATAPI  250 Zip Drive
/dev/hdb4

Comment 2 victor lorenz 2004-05-06 14:31:18 UTC

Works with version 1.351 (sort of). OK with GNome; mounts and ejects
r&W. However with KDE mounts but can't unmount; msg.  "device busy"

Comment 3 Yao Zhang 2004-07-27 20:02:40 UTC

Same problem with kernel 2.6.7-1.494.  Insert a zip disk, 'mount
/mnt/zip' will lock the whole system up.  Have to do hardware reset.
If the zip disk is in the drive while rebooting, the system locks up
and can not finish booting.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2004-12-08 06:29:04 UTC

better with 2.6.9 update ?

Comment 5 victor lorenz 2004-12-08 14:04:26 UTC

Yes, Everything OK with 2.6.9.

Comment 6 Yao Zhang 2004-12-09 23:36:37 UTC

It still locks up on my system.

The /var/log/message contains following lines about my internal
ide zip 100 drive:

Dec  9 17:34:21 water kernel: hdd: No disk in drive

First, only /dev/hdd showing up after booting.  No entry under
/media.

After insert a zip drive,
    mount /dev/hdd /mnt
locks up the whole system.  Have to press the reset button to reboot
the system.

Also tried to create other partitions by
    MAKEDEV hdd
and
    mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt
it still locks up.

And if I leave a zip disk in the drive while rebooting the machine,
it just hangs.

I cannot find any thing in /var/log/message while locks up happens.

  fstab shows /dev/hdb4 /media/zip250 vfat etc. Note use of 'media'
rather than 'mnt' with kernel 2.6.9. Had to set file system type to
"vfat" in order to read disks under Win 98.  Have to have zip disk in
drive at boot. Subsequently can umnount and change disks.  KDE
(Konquerer) at times problematic when attempting umount; "device busy"
msg. Gnome (My Computer -Nautilus?) never a problem.  HTH
